PSA: Stop calling it a safety net.

It's a system. You're supposed to pay into the system, and then the system is supposed to work for you. You're supposed to use it. A safety net you're never supposed to use. I think conservatives like to call it that to paint the idea that you're not supposed to use it, if you use it that means you failed, and that it shouldn't be the primary system.
