Who is the government "genius" who came up with the Social Security Spouse Benefit? This allows a citizen who potentially put zero dollars into the system to collect 50% of someone who did (their spouse).

Not only is it unfair to the unmarried workers of America, but as a matter of fiscal policy it makes no sense. I wonder how many more years the system would be viable if we ended the spouse benefit.
