No, it merely fools us poor slobs into THINKING it will take care
of us in our old age.  Then, when we find out it won't (try to live
on SS), we have failed to make our own provisions.  This is somewhat
excusable for those who are retiring now, but if any of you baby-
boomers think that it's going to support you, you are muy loco!
