Thanks. The thing I love most about SS is that nearly everybody who collects from it has to contribute to it or be married to somebody who does. If we cut off the spouses, they would simply be added to the welfare rolls. At least with SS somebody had to put some money into the system for a descent amount of time.
Several times, I have told the story about four older ladies I know who live together on nothing but their SS checks and the un-mortgaged home one of them owns. It's not an extravagant life, but it keeps them off the streets and off the welfare rolls.
Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia?
