SS was a great idea. It's original intent was simply to insure old

can certainly understand why you'd think SS wasn't a great idea.


You're wrong, SS was always a bad idea. Great ideas don't have to be forced
on people, SS does not insure old people won't be eating out of trash cans,
and there's no Constitutional authority for it.
