Yeah but they will be getting more out then they paid. duh.[/quote]

Ah. So people who worked their whole lives in Manhattan should not be allowed to move to East Jesus, Nebraska, because they would be getting more value for their SS? Makes perfect sense. Let's eradicate the snowbirds![/quote]

If the government is subsidizing people with tax dollars they shouldn't allowed to flee the country and spend it somewhere else.[/quote]

They're not subsidizing you crazy crazy cow. YOU PAY IN to SS. [/quote]

I'm not the crazy cow.... but in practical terms, SS seems pretty unsustainable in its current form. I would imagine that, in some way, the government will have to subsidize future payments or drastically alter its amount/structure. That said, I still dont see why someone should have to stay in the US to get it.  Reductio ad absurdum - all foreigners who come to the US should be entitled to it, because, hey, they live in the US.

Everyone who pays into SS do not benefit.  My mother began working and paid into SS starting at the age of 17.  She died at the age of 58.  She never received any SS benefit.  My grandfather lived to see three years of SS.  Yes, my GM began receiving GD SS, but the money she put into her own SS was wiped out.  A surviving spouse receive the greater of the two.  Yes, some people will get more out of SS than the put in, but there's a large number of people who will never see a dime.

In addition, SS is sustainable.  If Congress would leave their grubby, fat, decaying, greasy hands off of SS and stop raiding it for other purposes, SS will survive.  [/quote]
