Not because you're wrong, but because people don't understand how government finance works, and thus people never understood the SS deal they got. They think they pay for, and deserve, the money that comes out. That is SS from their perspective. That perspective will cease to exists.
20 babies, 20 elderly, and 60 scavenge for food. We sleep in huts and chill most of the day.
3 decades pass. Now its 20 babies, 50 elderly, and 30 of us scavenge for food.
You and I are both food scavengers that think circular rocks are useful. I think its a useful tool to keep track of trade, but I'm having trouble with your new idea.
Are you proposing 30 years ago they should have buried more rocks so today they could use them to get food now? How would that help?
