Social Security used to be a guaranteed retirement fund after working all your life. Now it is proof that you are incapable of managing your own affairs by not setting up your own retirement fund. Somehow, this will not fly for long.

This sucks. Guess I'll have to tell my wife that I'm going to take over the check book. Can't have the gub'mint accuse me of not being able to handle my own affairs.
