It is a very efficient sysem. Hardly anything goes into administration.
What are you smoking?!

The Social Security administration itself admits it cannot be sustained as it is currently structured -- they've been predicting its collapse for years; its problems are not something new.

Social Security is a Ponzi scheme; the money from new "investors" is used to pay the "benefits" to the earlier contributors.

If anyone tried to set up a group retirement investment plan modeled after SS, they would be arrested for fraud!

SS isn't even about "retirement" anymore; the dead-weight (and growing) part of the scheme involves young people using lawyers who send them to doctors so they can get a "diagnosis" for a qualified "mental disorder" and collect disability payments through SS!

I say: Let me out! I'll plan for my own retirement and deal with risks for real disability on my own.
