So you think the exact dollar you put in the bank is there for you???*LOL*
SS and Medicare aren’t even remotely comparable to banks. There are no “accounts” to speak of. They aren’t investments. They’re purely taxes that you paid to fund the previous generation of entitlement recipients.
Basically, you just don’t want to be the generation that gets left out in the cold when the Ponzi scheme collapses.
You think that's a relevant comment? SS has been paid for enough to be fully funded but it runs as a ponzi scheme - the money put in (exact bills and coins have no relevance) has been spent and replaced with an "IOU" that has to be constantly updated with vig on top.
