Re-read what I wrote, please. I am not trying to be disrespectful in the slightest.
I appreciate your situation, and fully understand that they have stolen from us, and have us all in a “chinese finger-trap.” The answers to your questions are there.
You need to understand that both parties in the “social security” trap are being victimized and stolen from, and true to the named trap, neither side can pull themselves out. Both sides must be willing to calmly relax the tension on the trap to get out.
I don’t see that happening as long as some people blame others. Frankly, I have young adult children and they would have gotten the same response from me if they had said it. Real tired of taking the blame when we did the best we could and people that haven’t walked the walk being critical. Sorry, not sorry.
I didn’t and don’t blame you, and you may notice pointed out his lack of patience to him as well.
The Bible calls us to humility, forgiveness, and to offer our other cheek to be slapped. We should always be seeking after God’s righteousness for everyone involved.
I agree with your analogy, however I do think that it leaves out the important aspect that one party is responsible for putting the trap on. Much of the people on the other end weren't even alive when the trap was put on. The fact that elderly people are unwilling to acknowledge their part in the problem shows they aren't serious about trying to resolve the problem.
Social Security money was spend 34 trillion dollars ago. Anyone still supporting Social Security is a thief. I'm totally sympathetic that the fact that the government stole your money, but you lose me when that becomes an excuse to steal from everyone else, including your own children and grand children.
Many of them had their parental guidance murdered overseas or were hypnotized into thinking that a dog was a cat prior to dissenting information being at the touch of their fingers.
They are being selfish in their continued support of it, but selfish insofar as they need housing and food and are used to providing it from their own hands or the fruits of legal contracts.
You aren’t wrong, just have more patience with them, it is going to take patient explaining, not hasty accusation.
Nobody likes being accused. Even when you’re right it makes the person dig in their heels, and it takes practice to get past doing. I myself am still quite bad at it.

You may both do as you will, though.
