Social Security is the most popular social program in US history.  It is also blowing up the federal budget.  Older people get pretty upset when you tell them that changes need to be made to the system.  But what about younger generations who won't get any of the money they paid into the system unless real reform takes place? We trekked over to the FDR Memorial--the president who started Social Security--and asked Americans what they thought of the program and what, if anything, should be done to prevent it from collapsing.
