I had no idea. I wonder what the 2012 stat is.....

In 1980, an average Social Security recipient received a 1200% return on their contributions.

In 2010, a 250% return was experienced.

Once Oblahblah Care gets fully implemented, the drain will decrease as older people will be evaluated then denied care they receive today. Need a new hip, knee, etc. and your 70 years old, not going to happen. Healthcare will be rationed to the working class as the governments dependence on their wages will dictate who does and does not receive care. Welfare slugs...you aren't much value and suck a lot of government resources, too bad - so sad.
