We'll all get some SS, and unless we take out less than we put in, it's a handout for ALL OF US.
There is no "interest" it's a tax like any other, the government borrows it, and gives it back. Most people get more than they pay in, so for most it's a handout. If you count medicare, virtually all get more than they pay in.
I'm not saying it's just HIM that gets a handout, everyone does. It is a handout from our kids if we get a penny more than we put in, plain and simple. The only way to mitigate it is to take more from our kids, or ask for less.
I'll ask for less before taking from my kids, YMMV.
