We’ve already had that case fought in the Supreme Court and FDR insisted that SSI was NOT insurance, that it was a welfare program and that payments made by citizens to SSI were taxes, not insurance premiums. FDR won. He had his administration make this arguement to the Court while at the SAME time he was selling SSI to the public as old age insurance!

I'm surprised Odufus and Piglosi didn't hit on this formula for their MengeleCare.

And you still find the word “Insurance” all over the government’s web site. I rubbed a Lefty’s nose in that last week, after he made a big deal of saying it is not insurance. Yes, we know that, and yes, the government/the Left LIES! to the sheeple, over and over again.
