Just like abortion, the social security ponzi scheme is used as a campaign issue that is argued by every federal candidate...yet it remains in a "constant state of collapse".
It is used as a slush fund for dumb shit.
Let people and their families be responsible for their own "social" security.
If you saved your money in a lousy certificate of deposit or 401k you would equal, or according to some experts, far surpass what you would draw from The SS...and as an added bonus - you can pass on the account to your heirs.
