“Social security was a ponzi scheme from day one—it is just a very long con:”
Social Security was never intended to be used as it’s being used now. It was never intended to provide an income for independent living.
Back when it was created, families were tight knit, and upon retirement the parents would move back in with the kids to help raise the grandkids and tend to the homestead. SS was intended as a supplemental income.

Ah—I see.
It was intended as a smaller Ponzi scheme than it is today.
That is very reassuring.
