We ALL paid into Social Security with the Full Faith and Trust of the US Government

And Congress has repeatedly dipped into the Social Security Cookie Jar so they could "Spend like a Drunken Sailor" while offering "Tax Cuts to the Wealthy" and Corporate Tax Loops Holes" large enough to sink the American Middle Class

This is the Fed plan, and it's idiotic.
