Well, yeah. A recession generally means fewer jobs and less income, which means less payroll tax going into Social Security. By the same token, when the economy improves, more jobs and more income follows, and more payroll tax receipts shore up Social Security.

@erichoffpauir – I was thinking about the long term trend, where I pay. 15% for 40 years and get nothing.
