Social Security is one of the biggest Government programs of all time. It was established during the time when Americas economy was the worst, The Great Depression. Franklin Roosevelt make this idea come to life in his New Deal plan and it was not an easy thing to pass but it was certainly worth it. There has been a steady 3.2% increase but this year there is a 0% increase. People are mad about this and they should be because our hard earned money gets taken out of our paychecks and put into Social Security so that one day it will be there when we are too old to work.
There is a reason why Social Security has been around for decades, because it is actually a good Government program. Sure we don't really like the money that we work hard for vanish but it is put towards something that will benefit us in the end...literally. But when you have too many hands in the pot good things go bad. Social Security would still be a great thing put our elected officials are using it for things it is not intended for. This giant piggy bank would be useful if unintended hands would stay out of it. It is already established that Social Security will run out by 2063 and what I don't understand is why will MY Generation have their money taken away and never ever see it back? What kind of world are the officials in our great Government leaving for us?
