I'm not upset at changing it per se, but I'm upset about the potential
benefits cut when I'm already too old to recoup a cut that big, even if I
put the max in for a private socsec account. And that new private account
has *MUCH* more risk of not ever paying off.  Ask any recent British
retiree just what they think about their private socsec accounts.....

He mentions 2 groups that may need help, low income -- I don't fit that,
older than 55, no, single male that already pays more taxes than most and
now they want me to accept a 40% benefits cut even though I've paid into
SocSec for 30 years...  No way, no how.
