After hearing a personal account of a senior citizen's struggling on living off of social security, it is easy to see why we need it. The problem with social security is how it is said to go bankrupt by 2040. If that really is true, it brings up the idea of why are we paying for social security when we will not even be able to receive it when it is our time.
The idea of social security is great to me. The thought to have money put away for those senior citizens who need it sounds helpful and needed. If there becomes a way to make it available to everyone when they are older then I would agree that it is necessary.
I disagree with the republicans to extend the age of retirement. I cannot picture that just because life expectancy is extended, the retirement age should go with it. Just because life expectancy increases does not mean the ability of someone that age increases also. They are still senior citizens and they need help from the government and the democrats seem to be the only people that are realizing that.
