Actually it's the inability of the government to do anything meaningful unless it benefits them politically. The entire system is corrupt.

What the f**k do you mean who is to blame? Are you f*****g serious?
Social Security as it is set up right now is so far pas aSSinine its aSSi-ten.
I will say that what FDR intended would have worked just f*****g fine if people didnt go f**k with it, and the manner in which it was f****d any 10 year old should be able to tell you what is wrong with this picture.
