Actually, if every dollar I ever gave to social security was put in a modest bond fund, I’d have MUCH more than $1,000,000.

Ever hear of the rule of 72?

It breaks down in a zero interest rate environment.

“Actually, if every dollar I ever gave to social security was put in a modest bond fund, I’d have MUCH more than $1,000,000.”

And if you had a pony, well.......you’d have a pony.
