Uh-oh, they're on to the scam

CNET: "Social Security Benefits Could Drop 20% by 2032, Government Report Says."
A survey from Nationwide found that one in three adults over age 26 don't think that when they retire they'll see a dime of benefits from the Social Security program they've been paying into.
The kids are figuring out the math.

President Jimmy Carter, May 9, 1977: "Today, the Board of Trustees of the Social Security Trust Funds is submitting its 1977 report to the Congress. The report tells us that the system critically needs financial support in the short term. Since 1975 expenditures have exceeded income, and existing reserves will soon be exhausted."

President Ronald Reagan, May 21, 1981: "As you know, the Social Security System is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. In the decades ahead its unfunded obligations could run well into the trillions. Unless we in government are willing to act, a sword of Damocles will soon hang over the welfare of millions of our citizens."

Wow, so after more than 85 years of assailing Social Security, Republicans have only got a third of the people least invested in the program suspicious? That's... not a successful psyops campaign.
