I don't get the "maybe we can pay you half or so." Half of your present wages? But how could they guarantee that when people's wages are so different? Again, it was never intended to be a kind of personal saving account.When we had those budget surpluses at the end of the Clinton years we could have said, "let's use the surplus to increase Social Security benefits." But instead we said, "let's give great big tax cuts to the rich."I disagree with you about not paying people who never paid in. One of the reasons that it's so effective in reducing poverty in America is because it helps people, like non-working spouses and severely impaired individuals who never worked.
