You are correct sir. Both parties have been responsibile for creating these myths about SS, which is really a Ponzi scheme.
Yep, it is the mother of Ponzi schemes. Tens of trillions of dollars taken from the people with the promise that it will be there when they retire, except the politicians have been using it to fund their pet projects from the very beginning and putting worthless IOUs that must be paid back by the people who the politicians stole it from in the first place.
