Italiansxs,
Don't forget, when they(social security)took our money 40-50 years ago, an oz. of gold cost $32-, now it is $1400+.Plus they spent it and put "IOUs" into the fund insead of our money."IOUs" don't draw interest.Now they complain that we take out more than we put in.In terms of real value,I doubt that's true.
