I'm not even going to try, Social Security is a social insurance plan.Can you give me some examples of other insurance programs that are guaranteed to pay out monthly benefits until death provided that someone simply survives to a specified age? Thanks.
I don't know or care, just look at what happened to those people with 401K's. The stock market is very risky, there are winners and losers.What was the annualized return over the worst 40 years in the stock market's history?
Social Security pays benefits to people of working age who for some physical reason can no longer work.No, SS pays benefits to everyone who reaches retirement age regardless of their ability to work.

Still is. A good example is those people who worked for Enron and lost their pensions.Once it was. Now it's not.
