If congress had done its job and NOT raided SS, it would be more solvent. If it was correctly administered, it would be more solvent. Hands off SS & and quit screwing with our money, Congress!!
Networks of cooperating groups create wealth. It's always a group effort.
Since they created it, US citizens have every right to decide how this wealth should be shared out provided only that they create fair rules which apply equally to all.
Same with Medicare, and even though I paid into Medicare for 5 decades my premiums are $185 for Part B, $36 for Part D, $325 for Part G so total $546 a month. Does not cover eyes or dental. My SS is $2200 leaving me $1654. My pension was stolen by a green mailing billionaire and Corp bkruptsies.
You could shout it from the mountain tops but when you think about it, you must find the ears of those who need to hear it. Relevancy is age and social level relevant. I think money is also an a huge weight, it controls media.
Earned benefit, but dispersed on pay-as-you-go. Solid financing, but the Trust Funds are full of government bonds. A lot of the belly-aching about the debt is belly-aching about borrowing from the trust funds to fake a more balanced operating budget.l
Entitlement is not a dirty word. It is defined as having the right to something. @petermorley.bsky.social is 100% correct. It's an earned benefit. It's our money and we are entitled to it.

Technically the government owes the Social Security fund an estimated $2.9 trillion, money that has been used and not repaid to the fund.
We are still owed trillions into SS from what was stolen by Bush. Paying only interest on that “loan” is not ok. I want my money back.
