Would like to see you investigate where all the money went that the "baby boomers" pd in to SS while working that caused a surplus that the general fund borrowed and did not pay back to SS, thus making SS funds run out. The feds should pay back their loans and then SS would be all right. Then the feds would
quit blaming the baby boomers, because these excess funds should have been set up in a trust fund for when the boomers aged so there would be enough to cover their SS benefits.
