The millennials are wise not to care about SS. It wont be there when they get old enough. The govt is fricking that up left and right and has for years.
Exactly, it was well intentioned idea, but it's an economic disaster. I hate having to throw away the first $.15 of every dollar I make, and that's before income taxes, knowing that it'll be long gone by the time I'm old enough to collect.
That may sound selfish, but I don't believe in investing in Government mandated Ponzi schemes.

Well, this shite started really going sideways when the congress started diverting social security funds to buy F-14's with it years and years ago.

That's not how it works. This isn't a "how would I reallocate spending if every program worked how I wanted it to." Social security exists, and there are millions upon millions of Americans that have worked their whole lives with the expectations they would be receiving social security checks. Taking that from them now, is selfish. Just like those olds not giving two shits about education spending is selfish. It's the exact same shite.
