4. Personally I think overfunding social security was a scam to get lower income people
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 07:46 PM by dkf
To pay more taxes. They knew at the time that when the funds were needed there wouldn't be enough workers to pay for retirees. It really beats me why they thought a worker who couldn't afford to pay for all the retirees could pay for them anyway under the premise that they were obligations for these bonds we owe to ourselves.
