It will not take much effort to tweak SS and put it on better financial footing. As for your retirement, if Obama is elected and with a strong Dem majority in Congress, they may solve your health insurance problem for you. Funny About Money: I appreciate your visit and comment.

The whole "Social Security Gone" scenario is just so much fiction. In fact there's plenty of money in the SS fund to last far beyond the predicted date we all fall off the edge of the earth. Since word was leaked, a few days ago, that everyone in my job classification at the Great Desert University is about to be laid off, you can bet I've been studying the latest SS report of my alleged entitlement. I could "retire" now, but can't afford the cost of health insurance on something like half my present (fairly modest) income. But if I'm laid off, I may have no choice but to enjoy the $1300/month income SS supposedly will pay me forthwith. Hey...it's better than nothing! Darn right!
