It's also not right to blame the US government for upholding their laws.
It's unfortunate that you and your parents thought that the real estate and financial assets to provide for you would have gone farther. It's unfortunate that you or they thought you could have those assets and that you would also be able to take advantage of a program designed for people with minimal assets. It's unfortunate and possibly illegal if your parents were misled by their lawyer. None of that is the fault of the US government or the Social Security Administartion.
