There would be absolute revolt if the government tried to do away with SS; there's no way citizens would stand for it, after having pumped money into it for so many years.
Now, the benefits may not be great-but that's why I'm counting on it only being one of three sources of retirement income (in addition to state retirement and personal investments). But who knows, 30+ years down the road for me (in 20 years I'll qualify for full retirement from my state job, but will be too young for SS). From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 5:26 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OT - Reduction in hours, forced to use PTO I am not even planning on SS to be around in 15-20 years when I retire, I plan on swinging it on my own. If there's any SS to be had, fine, but I'm not banking on it.
