The Social Security program was established on August 14, 1935. The program was established to give benifits to the retired, the old, and disabled. Gave them money so that they could have and spend on pretty much everyday things. the purpose of this was to keep disabled or unable people to be able to have money, buy what they needed, and also to protect you individual self from fraud. They wanted everyone to be protected with pretty much their own identity.
their really is about over a trillion dollars that has been paid to the beneficiaries. the amount just keeps increasing. people are in debt so they have to pay it off like every day.
i think that maybe we have a part in why they are not going to pay all promised benefits. we are doing too much and wanting more than what we are giving. we are trying to get all that we can. i think that in the future maybe things will change and people will realize that you cant have everything that you want. we need to work for what we want and not depend on this program to give us money.
