Everyone thinks of social security as a pension program. The real problem is that it has been expanded to give benefits for many other causes that have nothing to do with pensions. Like the gas tax that is supposed to be used for roads but is raided for the general fund. It would be interesting to find out how the money is distributed, and different from what was intended when it was set up.
