I've never expected to get anything back from Social Security. To me it is nothing more than another tax on current income to fund current (over)spending by the gub'mint. One reason we are in such deep doo-doo is that the so-called "trust fund" or "surplus" has long since been squandered and is basically a line-item in our national debt. As the numbers of retirees vs. workers shifts in the coming years, there simply won't be enough cash coming into the system to pay out the benefits.
Anybody counting on SS still being around in its current form after 5-10+ (not sure of our average age here) more presidential terms is kidding his/herself.
