Tim, you fucking idiot, you could have borrowed from other sources.

Er, that anecdote was an analogy.

This discussion continues to be interesting in that it seems to be more of a defense of competing narratives than a debate. 30-40 years ago I visited my folks in their retirement community and created a bit of a kerfuffle by correcting SS recipients who were insisting that their SS checks were a return on the money that they had put in and were horrified that I might think otherwise. The SS narrative has become more sophisticated than that but the underlying reaction seems to be still the same.

I don't have a dog in this fight since I do not have and never will have enough quarters to collect SS so I just watch.
