You seem to be forgetting that up until the 70's there was a SS slush fund that the Congress voted to steal from by making it available as General Fund funds. And like government does they wasted it.
I did'nt forget that fact. That is where the damage was mostly done. They should have offered years ago a fund that is absolutely untouchable by the government and gives the taxpayer options on funds to invest in.
Nonetheless the country would have gotten a much better return with 5% simple interest. Compound isn't available except to charge the workingman.-)
True
What do you mean it's a fixed game?
