Well put. Most people don't realize they are paying into a system that doesn't exist.  there is no real set-aside for you anywhere in the federal system.  The money you put into FICA doesn't exist.  It's all an IOU - one that can be taken away at will by the democrats - just as Frank Underwood did in House of Cards.  It is the ultimate in Ponzi schemes[/quote]

This was explained earlier, go back and read it. Even Greenspan agrees the trust funds are solid. If you think the dems are going to destroy SS' investments (to do this, they'd have to formally repudiate the debt in question), you live in an alternative universe. Similarly, finding the general revenues to redeem the debt held by SS is the Dems' first priority, way ahead of things like military spending. It seems to be the Reps' first priority too...just look how SS was the catalyst for agreement in several recent debt crises.

House of Cards is Hollywood. It's a great show, but his America Works plan was ridiculous. In what universe does a plan consist of the government paying workers $45,000 apiece to work? Like the whole country is on the government payroll. I bet you'd hate that, and I would too. Don't confuse Hillywood with real life.[/quote]
