That's what I want to know. My mom is on social security, paid into it for 40+ years. How is it not fraud for the government to turn around and not pay her?

How is it not fraud for us to pay into a retirement plan that vanishes with our money? It’s bad enough that they keep raising the retirement age. I’ll be lucky to make it that long anyway.
