Can not believe this program will run out of money and a stay at home mom or dad who pay nothing will still be paying nothing.
Im not trying to argue for SS one way or the other, but a compelling case can be made for the stay at home spouse. The entire system is built upon the premise that current workers pay for those currently receiving benefits. Without robust future generations, the system collapses (look at the projected worker to retiree ratio throughout the years). The stay at home spouse raising three or more future workers likely “contributes” more to the system long term than a two-working couple that never has children.
