How much did your grandmother receive in monthly benefits vs. the collective SS contributions paid by her various descendents? I bet it was a pittance.
The lesson for the SS "lock box / trust fund" is an important one. Virtually all government programs morph into perpetuating the existence of the permanent bureaucracy. Of course SS should not have become a piggy bank - but our learned representatives just can't resist that much cash.
