This concept confuses me. People here on Pelican have made the argument that the SS trust is not something I pay into that I later collect out, but rather that I am paying for the current recipients and when I get old the workers then will be paying me.
So - how does it run out? Running out implies a volume of something that is depleted. Given the Pelican information, there is no bucket of money to run out of. The only way it runs out is if people quit paying.
Do I get to stop paying in two years?
