I have two stacks of letters about this high over in my office from seniors. We have got 2,400 as of last week... they say, I am not worried about my benefits, but please fight to make sure that my grandkids will have Social Security when they get older. Now, is that not typical of that generation, of the Greatest Generation who made sacrifice after sacrifice after sacrifice until this day to not worry about Social Security for them but worried about it for their grandchildren?
