Personally I don't consider SS public assistance. It's an "earned" benefit that is owed to me. Not really much different than a retirement pension from a mega corp from my POV. Except I was forced to contribute... Now I want it back as promised!I'm surprised no-one picked up on the line in the article

While not everyone needs public assistance in retirement, 38% said they won't be able to retire without it.
I assume they mean SS. And I know there are plenty of people on this board (a very atypical selection of people compared to the general population) who could still be comfortable with no SS... But most folks (including myself) assume SS will be there... my retirement would be much more frugal if SS were taken away. I'm not collecting yet - but I input it in firecalc when I run firecalc...
