Calling it a Ponzi scheme is misleading and does more to cloud the issue than it does to illuminate it. And yes, I do know that unless changes are made, the current system is unsustainable. But that doesn't mean it's fraud.
Mitchell Zuckoff

Mean, Social, Security

Todd Rokita

Government, Keep, American
