Citizens say: Leave Social Security, other benefits alone. The takeaway from this story is that programs like Social Security are absolutely vital to millions of Americans. Any kind of profound change could destroy lives. It's easy to pontificate that we do not need such programs. It's a lot harder when we are absolutely dependent upon them.

A lot of people depended on Madoff, too, and were very upset when informed that "investors" of a Ponzi are not entitled to so much as one penny more than what they put in. Sometimes, the truth hurts.
