Here's a little primer on SOCIAL SECURITY and your right to it.  It's not an entitlement.  This is a searing column from Malcom Berko who is published in the Columbian regularly.  With the current flap on federal budgets and the possible cut to Social Security, it's important to uphold Social Security benefits as our earned money and not en 'entitlement'.  Enjoy the Berko column
