  • SS really confuses me. On paper it's OK as you suggest but if the government has borrowed all the funds over the years and replaced them with IOU s, isn't it a pay as you go program? Current benefits paid by those working?

  • Think it couldn't happen here? What if we cut all Social Security payments to current recipients 21%, added a 10% sales tax and told people they had to wait until 70 to retire? Don't kid yourself.
