> i do not understand how social security works... payroll taxes are used to buy "government" debt, the receipts of which are placed into the "social security trust fund" like an iou. but, "social security" is a giant ponzi scheme. today's workers are paying for today's beneficiaries and the usury/fraud/corruption built into the scheme.  1940 worker-to-retiree ratio 42:1 1950 worker-to-retiree ratio 16:1 1960 worker-to-retiree ratio 5:1 2000 worker-to-retiree ratio 3.4:1 2025 worker-to-retiree ratio 2.3:1 one day the u.s. will default on the (currently) $36 trillion debt. what cannot go on forever will not go on forever. we can guarantee payments but not purchasing power...   ltc62rg0 there is infinite cash at the federal reserve...   1dqyqvlw cheers!
