my wife died and my son’s survivors benefits were a lousy 30 cents on the dollar. and in fact married people in the work force today who both work pay far more in than they will ever get back.
it is current retires who when working paid i believe 1.5% (+{ 1.5% employer) of their wages into the system. the current total is 12.4% (6.2 + 6.2) that are receiving far more in benefits than what they paid in.
