Its not a choice between whether we get the money we paid in back or not (I'm 42, almost 43), its a choice between whether we lose the money we've "invested" but the economy (and the nation) still exists, or we lose the money we've "invested" AND the economy (and the nation) no longer exist. The simple fact is that social security is unsustainable ... if you're under 60 you're probably completely screwed here, doesn't matter what "fix" they try or if they just decide to scrap the whole thing (I just don't want it to take out the entire economy).

If I have to lose the money I've put in social security but it means there's still an America, I can live with that (of course I'd like for them to stop stealing from me ASAP).
