You rugged individualists might be singing a different tune when your pensions are taken away when a vulture eats up your employer and forces it into bankruptcy and the courts make your pensions the last on the list to be resolved!
I don't have a pension, so no, I'm not too worried about that.

Well, you're talking about the "safety net" aspect of social security. I'm not convinved we needed it, but that's already done. I still don't see how getting a government check at an arbitrary age is a "safety net."

Mostly, these are/were government created problems.

I agree, although I'm not a "conservative." Some people have certain opinions/preferences while others have different opinions/preferences. If you're of the opinion that violence and coercion are wonderful things, then please continue to keep that opinion and support big government programs. If you're of the opinion that violence and coercion are horrible, then don't support government programs.
