Originally posted by daniel58 Like I said before, it is no longer guaranteed, if you were born after a certain year.
The laws against stealing or murder aren't "guaranteed" either. If Congress voted to make all murder legal and the president signed it, it would become legal.

Originally posted by daniel58 So you don't believe in morality?
I am not arguing that Congress should make murder legal -- I'm just saying that it COULD make murder legal. The only thing that prevents it is the people strongly agree that murder should be illegal.
Likewise, Social Security benefits will continue to be paid out because (and only as long as) the people believe strongly in this.

NO IT WON'T BE PAID OUT!!! AS I SAID BEFORE, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT PEOPLE BORN AFTER A CERTAIN YEAR WILL NOT GET IT!!!
