Throwing good money after bad.

I heard once that if every Church in the United States took care of the homeless the sick in the infirm there wouldn’t be a problem and Social Security might not be necessary.

But that was years ago, and I have no idea if there was any validity attached to that statement.

Perhaps FDR had good intentions by instituting Social Security, perhaps. But like many (if not all) programs of good intentions are soon manipulated to the point where the good intentions might still be exist however the manipulation completely ruins an otherwise altruistic benefit.

But, a constitutional republic government does not exist to be altruistic entity if it abides strictly by the Constitution. Altruistic ventures are in essence the domain of We the People. It is when We the People do not pick up these civil needs or perhaps even duties that soon the government takes on the spectre of something far more sinister and intrusive then it was ever supposed to be.

The Federal Reserve is the problem who destroy the money supply. Social Security is not the Ponzi Scheme.

The Federal Reserve bad money is the Ponze Scheme. The Fed destroys all productive economic gain.

The question has always been, not can Social Security survive solvent, but can Social Security survive the corrupt Federal Reserve?

Many churches are busy taking care of illegals than the American people who are homeless or disabled.
