Fair enough
I will let you in on something
I almost never ask questions like this that I don't already know the answer to
Did they write checks to a different government agency in 1935 for the Social Security withholdings?
I once had a conversation with an older gentleman that said that your Social Security Number was a bank account. The government kept records of how much money was in your account. It sounded like it used to be a lot like an IRA or 401(k).
Social Security is not a trust fund and anybody who believes that is living in the past and believing a lie told by a desperate politician from a brutal era who has been dead for almost 70 years.
He had to tell lies to calm everybody down and he was damn good at it.
