Where can you go to borrow money without having to pay it back?

To your bank, mortgage company, or S&L. Most people borrow to buy a house, and they will never pay off the mortgage. They will pay interest and refinance as they need to. The government does the same.

MC, What has happened to SS from the very beginning, is told in two old sayings. One is "robbing Peter to pay Paul", and the American Indian take is to " cut off one end of the blanket, and weave it into the other end to make the blanket longer". IOW, SS is nothing more than a promise to the people who were told that a SS fund would be maintained for their retirement, but was never a possibility. A bald faced lie by FDR, and he knew it was a lie from the git go.
