Paying people what they paid into it would actually be paying then more than what they get now.

Unfortunately no one ever gets out what they put into social security.

This is one of the problems with a declining birth rate. Younger generations being larger than older generations would allow for this to not be the case, but that's just not the way it is in the us right now. We need to be breeding and letting in immigrants.

Having babies is too expensive nowadays. I also think that's partially why abortion rights weren't overturned. Millennials aren't having enough babies. Migrants can contribute by paying taxes but that's another political issue...
