“promises were issued without regard for the revenues needed to pay the promises”
NO!
The ‘care’ of the funds taken in was irresponsible.

SSA receipts were treated by politicians as a fund they could spend to please voters “today”.
Worse, those funds were used to just pay the interest on loans to spend “pleasing” voters.
The ‘lockbox’ is not just empty it’s full of IOUs to be paid- in addition to the pensions.

SSI is given out like candy to anyone foreign or domestic young and able. The SSI pot is empty with the exception of IOU's. As far as pensioners hate the game and those who invented it for thier own gains not the players. If you happened to be a player you wouldnt be complaining
