Social Security? You HAVE to Be Kidding!

So, what's your backup plan?   No, seriously: what is your backup plan?  Social Security... isn't, as anyone with a calculator can readily see (I was going to say "pencil and paper" but realized that most folks can't do simple math any more without a calculator *sigh*).  By the most rosy of estimates, it's only two years until the Social Security system, which congresscritters have raided for years as a fat cash cow, will be paying out more than it takes in, unless the idiots in Washington raise your SS taxes (they are NOT "contributions" to a retirement fund!) a lot more. Your congresscritters aren't going to fix the problem that they are largely responsible for.   So, what's your backup plan?   (I have one, but I'll not post it here.)
