Yeah, it is.

Social Security was, as of the end of last year, some $9 Trillion short of funds. It will be technically insolvent in 2033, 18 years from now. That is, no money to pay benefits.

It is, by any reasonable definition, a Ponzi Scheme. And you and I are likely to be among the last to get our money out of it.

Just about as morally bankrupt as anything I can imagine.

You got anything else?
