for scaring voters who have been living under a rock for the last four decades by saying it (SS) has problems. There, fixed it.

Thank you. I remember my father telling me in the 60's that Social Security was going to collapse into itself. It was a Ponzi scheme that could not support itself.

I mentioned this in passing (during the 90's) to my BIL, who is an ivy league trained lawyer, as is my husband, as was their father who was also a judge. This BIL went to a CPA he trusted, asked him about my claim , and came back to me and announced to me that I was out of my mind. He hasn't mentioned it since.

My finance guy told me I would have had over TWO MILLION DOLLARS at age 66 if all my SS and Medicare money, (including my employer’s match), was invested in a good quality balanced fund all these years.
I am currently in remission from Leukemia, and my life expectancy is thought to be age 62 to 67.
Ponzi scheme seems so inadequate to describe the wholesale unconstitutional theft that the United States Government has condoned all these years.
And let’s not forget that we all pay income taxes on the 7% payroll tax stolen from us.
