I don't understand

There's nothing quite like coming home from a long day of work and being greeted by a missive from Social Security, reminding you just how much of your paycheck has been directed to said Social Security over the past eleven years, not to mention Medicaid. This particular edition included cheerful information on the fact that at the current rates, the program's benefits will overtake income in 2017, and that I'm eligible for retirement benefits if I work another four years (!!), and how much my husband would come in for if I died or was permanently disabled today.

I guess these are good things to be told about? But, but, but -- why????
