Yep

It meets the definition of a Ponzi scheme. But it is authorized by a vote of Congress and a Presidential signing.

My dad worked like a sucker from their age of 18 until he died of cancer in 1998 at the age of 53. W-2’d his entire life. He died, not a single dollar came to his family. Zilch. Nada. That’s the biggest f**king scam in the world. It’s theft. Robbery. And it’s completely legal for the government to do it.

You're not wrong

Have any of these people ever been here, or ae they and everyone they've ever known just that disconnected from employment?

Social security is paid out of current taxes, so it just raises taxes to cover it.

False.

Where do you live that you do not know this?

American taxpayers are now paying Ukraine retirements, so they can have walking around money...

Basically paying neo nazis

The government's largest debt is owed to the American citizens, created by taking money from the social security and put in the general budget. Pay it back

The government does get to sell leases, gold, oil, land. They just need to stop giving money to foreign countries and put it back where it belongs.

Truth. When everyone hears " national debt" they immediately think China or oil, but about 70% of debt is owed to Americans for retirement and Healthcare.
SS is 6% × 40 years (about). That's only enough to retire for ......2.4 years. And to add insult.......
They steal from it. Then pretty much force 401k ,roth participation. Now......Blackrock and VG are using 401k stocks to subsidize risky venture capital , loans, and stocks. So everyone is paying 2 retirements that they're probably not going to get

Just so there's no misunderstanding - that was sarcasm
