#3 I always found it odd that:

First; the government takes money out of our paychecks ostensibly for our own good and tells us it's because we might not be wise enough to save our own money for retirement.

Second; instead of investing that money as any respectable fiduciary or even a semi-respectable 401k would do, the government uses the money it takes from our paychecks while we're still working to pay other people who are already retired.

Third, the government tells us that because there won't be enough new workers at the bottom of their little pyramid paying into Social Security that the system could be insolvent by 2033;

Fourth, the government doles our money back to us in amounts that the government sees fit;

Fifth, the government taxes us for the money that it doles back to us in amounts that the government sees fit.

#4 I seem to have lost my cookie for some reason. The post just above here by Wholuque Poodle2802 was really me. I'm not ready for a new nym, especially that one.

But I am please that the government will no longer tax our Social Security income.

#5 SS might have worked as originally set up: retire at 65, die at 67 or 68. Today, people live a lot longer - my dad retired at 62, and lived to 86.

#6 ^I've read somewhere that the retirement age was set at 65 because 1 in 10 male Germans lived to 65.

#7 /\ COVID was supposed to recalculate the Social Security ponzi scheme. Lucky for us, like most gov't programs it failed.

Imagine if you, owning an insurance program when participation was mandatory. How could you possibly not make money? Unless of course you unfenced the account and threw the proceeds into the general fund and spent it like a drunken sailor.

* My sincere apologies to drunken sailors everywhere.
