But who pays them? Tax payers. It's like spending $100 but rationalizing it by promising to pay yourself $120 next week.

.. when were T-bonds not paid? SS 1.7%

If SS is financed with government bonds, it's still just the government taking wealth from one citizen and giving it to another. Where's the reform?

If individuals invest their own money in the private economy, bond or stocks, you are creating wealth, and benefiting from the increase. That would be a substantial reform.
