What might I expect? Certainly I'll be collecting after the boomers...will they break the bank and leave me with naught?

Naw, they'll just keep raising the retirement age until you're dead.
I keep getting those statements of what I'll be entitled to and I just laugh.

Yes
Social Security will still exist in some form, but the actual benefit level at that time cannot be predicted.
There is an old programming joke:
I don't know what programming languages they will be using 20 years from now, but I do know that at least one of them will be called FORTRAN.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

My dad is 58, and they just raised his collection date so that he won't be able to collect any SS until he is 67. Don't matter, really, as he can take care of himself.
Will SS be around when you get there? Don't count on it.Comment

I wonder if there will be any way to sue the government for a return of the money you were forced to pay into SS.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

I'll say this: though I'm not counting on Social Security benifits, and personally feel the whole thing should be scrapped and reorganized, the AARP won't let it go without fighting tooth and nail. Any reform that gets at the heart of the problem (current workers pay for current benifits) will result either in the government having to shape up (HAH!) or the retirees taking a hit (HAH! Not 'till the Boomers have their pound of flesh!).
