Now you're posting FIVE YEAR OLD CARP!!!!!!
And for the record, my wife, who's a bit older than I am, has been collecting HER OWN Social Security for nearly 5 years now. After all, she worked her whole life, until about 6 years ago, and so she's earned every dime that she's now getting each month.
As for your comment about how the Social Security 'trustfund' has been invested, can you image what it would be like today if Dubya had managed to get his way and had privatized Social Security back when he took office. People would not only have loast THEIR own savings when the financial meltdown occured but Social Security would have taken it in the ear as well, but not before the banksters had taken their percentage off the top. Yea, that would have really helped America, NOT!!!!!
