I'm interested in people's opinions. Do you support the program as it is? What changes would you make it you could make any? Do you think it should be privatized as many people on the right wing have said? Would you get rid of the program all together?

if people didn't live as long as they do now and medical costs weren't so high and general cost of living didn't increase as much as it has it would have been fine.
that isn't how it played out though...


there's a lot wrong and I haven't the slightest how they'll fix it. it's really really sad.
