thats why there is such a controversey over if ss should be kept. but if they get rid of it, than what about the peopel who are below the age of 60 (which i think is the age needed to collect ss $$)? they have been working for somethign they will never see? where should it end?

yeah..

dude, i was kidding when I asked what it was. I was implying that social security didn't exist "at this time".
