SS was always a Ponsey Scheme, no matter who raided the “funds”.
It was doomed to failure that day it was signed into law.
Otherwise, I agree that we fulfill our constitutional obligations and fully fund our military at the expense of social programs.
It’s a Ponzi scheme alright. It could have been run as an investment fund and actually worked so long as those who didn’t put in up to that point were not included in the payouts.
