A few years ago I was out-raged when my wife came home one day and said that some politicians wanted a "means-testing" for social security. I was mad because I thought that everybody who put money into it should get some returns. But the more I learn about this Ponzi scheme, the more I agree on "means-testing" because it is no longer a "fund" it is money that goes to the general fund and distributed weekly. (Think of the Great Society of Johnson administration.)
