these actions will allow the government to stop paying back the money that it has stolen from citizens under the guise of various marxist PONZI schemes I am always amazed at how grateful people are when the government gives them their own money back. Whether its the "refund" they get when they file their taxes or social security payments when they retire. They always think the government is generous and magnanimous to give them money. I don't know if people are that dumb or the government is that good at brainwashing the masses. If the people are that dumb then maybe the government does know whats good for them. Social security works because the retirement savings is forced on them. If people have a choice of opting out of social security or any retirement savings and spending the money now, many, maybe most, will spend now and worry later. Thats the moral hazard our government enforces.
