I mean, that's what "Social Security" has always been: a suckers' bet that said marks get to pass onto the next generation to do the same for less, ad infinitum.

It's complete bullshit, and 100% a con —always has been.

(Nevermind that this "study" is corrupted AF.)

Not really. Social security has problems because the people in power do not pay their fair share in taxes while making sure everything is as expensive as possible for the rest of us.

If we stopped sucking off the people fucking us over, then we could fund it without taking on more debt.
