That's where it fails the test. You don't need increasingly more people to fund SS.
sorry but yes of course you do. it is a trust and it does make a small profit but you need more people coming in to the thing always

Um, sorry, but you don't. With a stable population and a proper accounting for life spans, it can be self sustaining forever. It most definitely does NOT need an increasing population.

Precisely. Many of our government agencies, from the federal down to the city/local level, were abused by politicians who took funds from them, then approved phony balonie accounting measures to cover it up. This was all done intentionally, not only to gain immidiate cash for personal projects or cronies, but also to make sure it appeared as if 'big government' had failed. Americans should always be sceptical and demand accountability from their government, but Social Security is one of the examples where government succeeds better than the private sector. That is why they spread the falsehood that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme or that it's broke already. That is why the post office has to deal with special regulations that force it to operate at a loss. The mirage that the private sector ALWAYS does EVERYTHING better than the public has to be upheld, even if you have to sabotage the government agencies that function well to do it.

Debtor's prison? Piffle.
I'd be OK with that, but I was really thinking more along the lines of ruined credit for life.

yes one of my people worked at the SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION OFFICE for 40 year. I get my stuff from him
well how many of you would call Donald Trump a deadbeat?
because thats exactly what he has done. and continues to advise people to do if underwater. walk away or stay and squat it out.
Its a "business decision" he calls it
Because hes rich, and perpetrates all kinds of unethical business schemes, hes not a deadbeat, but a "winner"

I heard a lot about them, but personally never seen one, till today.
It turns out to be... a family I knew is one of them. They're nice people, never thought they're one of them. They bought 800K home w/ very small downpayment, Right after they bought the home, they took a loan against it, openned coffee shop businese. The businese was not successful, so they decided to get the hell out of both business and the house. Right now, they're living 2 years without paying mortgage. Foreclosed, but you know, it is like taking forever.
Something that made me feel uncomfortable is that, they look so happy. They even talking about how much free money they've saved during those two years. It already is six figures.
Oh, man. That's how to get 100K using only 10K. Yeah, way to go.
