we are talking averages here- many won’t get what they paid in- many die before they ever start receiving- you personally are getting more- others too- however, the average is that most won’t get what they paid in- yes, some individuals rack up big bills, however, it’s offset by those that don’t and won’t receive anyhting
It is a Ponzi scheme. Those of us towards the top of the pyramid make out. Those at the bottom don’t. I was referring to those who are already receiving SS benefits. The CBO study provides the data. It is clear. There is a reason why seniors love SS and Medicare and will fight tooth and nail to keep the benefits. And they vote in higher percentages than the young. By 2030, one in 5 Americans will be 65 or older. These has huge consequences, politically and economically.
