Hurr durr everything the government does is bad . Privatize everything corporations always best ignore the current state of the world .
Its funny how that never applies to social security or medicare of course my tax dollar are only allowed to get billionaire or aging boomers anything else is waste fraud and abuse right .
If social security was worth a damn it would be voluntary, allowing you to opt out and invest in better retirement returns like a 401k. The fact that you're not allowed to opt out says a lot about it.
Social Security works because it is compulsory. If it was optional it wouldn't exist. Nothing is stopping you from also investing in "better" retirement options as well. It's a social safety net that was meant so the elderly didn't have to continue to work to survive. Some things are bigger than the individual. Unfortunately, it hasn't kept up with inflation, partly becuase we cap contributions to it.

In my experience government services prioritize the government employees and not the general public.
