text: I would call SS a "Payout". We have all Paid IN for years, now it's time to get our money back as a Payout. This is completely different from giving citizens Medicaid or other monies for free.
  
  If they want to get rid of SS, then start with kids, not with us who are nearing the 'Payout' time in our lives. I don't care if they get rid of it, just do it fairly, BEFORE anyone pays into it.
