People have been crying wolf about SS my entire life. I think many have just stuck their heads in the sand.
It is that they have just been kicking the can down the road on the problem until the can became so big that they are breaking their toes on it now. Always, they promised they had fixed the problem and it looked that way to the uninitiated.

That's how my mom is. She dismisses any criticism of Social Security's structural problems, because of how long people have been making them.
She won't even entertain that people have been making those criticisms for decades, because they are obvious.

Yeah, my mother was like that, too. However, she got a really nice pension from the place she worked at for so long. She wasn’t too worried about social insecurity.
