We’re getting bludgeoned with an ad about social security about every half hour paid for by AFSCME.
The only true thing in the ad is the claim that Tim Walberg calls social security a ponzi scheme. (it fits the definition) There is a payout as long as there is an ever increasing number of people paying in. How that is any different than the Bernie Madoff scam is beyond me aside from the fact that people weren’t forced into the Madoff scam.
Two years ago now, a young doc posted here on FR about possibly moving to Panama to escape 0bamacare rules & regs & continue to practice medicine. IIRC, he needed to be paying back student loans along with making money.

Social Security makes Bernie Madoff look like a 2-bit streetcorner hustler.
