I don't recognize this supposed claim that current payments are based on current withholding

You were the one who made it in the first place. I pointed out that current withholdings are not solely responsible for funding current payments because the SSTF is in fact not 0.0. But for the sake of argument I'm just showing that your original claim that current employment withholdings is largely what pay current benefits, is in no way contradictory to my claim that current benefits are based essentially on what the current beneficiaries paid in over their working career. Which said claim of mine you contested and said was not true because of your statement about current income vs payments. I'm merely pointing out that both your statement about current cash flow and my statement about benefits vs what you paid in are simultaneously correct. They aren't mutually exclusive.
