Well ideally we take the money and we invest it, or at least spend it on whatever “got to have it right now” item the pentagon needs to insure our national security.

If we’re just letting it lay fallow we’re doing something wrong somewhere.

Some folks who don’t make large salaries in their lifetime have minimal social security when they retire and it’s the only money they have. It’s not money that should be gambled on or eliminated entirely. I mean, that was the whole point when it was created.
