No, I'm not going to be drawn in.
But this is getting a bit idiotic. This whole thread is.............quite interesting........but pretty much......um....
Never mind. Here's some data.

And please, try to learn what the terms mean when using them.
I'm done.
well, ONE other thing that none of you apparently know.....(among many things)....... .9 percent of your premiums go to pay for Disability Insurance. You are BUYING a federal disability policy. When Soc Sec started, that wasn't part of it. Congress keeps adding things, like SSI (SUPPLEMENTAL Security Income, or 'welfare' ---currently around $800/month fixed I think--- for those who NEVER paid in a dime to Soc Sec), or children's benefits, or medicare or whatever. BUT, the premium is also no longer 1 %!!!! So this Disability that everyone hates has been paid for in disability insurance premiums for many years, for most folks. And it's not very easy to get.
Please, try and learn something about Social Security before trying to discuss its details.
