I just retired this last February and am finally able to get back some of the money that the Feds took out of my pay checks over the last 40 years.

IMHO they better get moving on something and get the Government back in operation sooner rather than later.

Remember that if we go into default it not only affects Americans but the rest of the world economies. We won't be in good standing with everyone else and they won't lend us money. The world's other leaders are watching to see what we do.
SSI and SSI Disability are lumped into the same block of crap. I guess if you pay into social security for 40 years, and then become disabled, you should be able to get some of your money.

I don't know.

I'm sick of it all..........I don't plan on retiring on Social Security or needing it. Of course I WILL take it......since I've paid a ton into it.

Of course......If the gubment GAVE me every single penny of it today, and stopped taking it out of my check, I will take my own chances and opt out of any future benefits from SSI.

Not too sure about Medicare, and opting out of that though .. Who knows how much medical will cost in the future..........
