But since you brought it up, if you didn't save enough money for retirement, fortunately social security should be available for you.

Even if I did save enough, Social Security should still be available to me. It is unfortunate that you cannot say the same. The "system" has been broken for a long time and therre is plenty of blame to go around for that - in both parties.

However, Social Security does not provide enough for any retired person to live on. Why do you think you see all those senior citizens greeting you when you enter Walmart? You think they are there because they want to be?
