SS isn't a Ponzi scheme, even though I've argued in the past that it was. I was mistaken. Ponzi schemes are, by definition, illegal. SS is legal. That's the difference.

Quit giving freebies to every parasite sneaking in to this country just to get the freebies. Quit paying to those that don't pay in.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

Anyway, the fix to SS is to only pay it to people who need it. If you don't need it, you don't get it. But, if you do, then you do.
And, unless someone can figure out a 100% fool-proof way to show that they will never need it, they have to pay into it, just in case they need it.

Funding the ever growing govt welfare gravytrain will be the main issue in the approaching welfare world. Hell, it will probably even surpass funding war.
