That's not opinion, that's fact.

Benefits are paid from current revenues, not from any savings.

As I said... You are entitled to your opinion. Real _stuff_ is ALWAYS
provided by the current producers. We "save up" credits to be expended
on this _stuff_ when we pay FICA taxes. There is also the fact that our
forgone consumption (created by the saving of the credits, as opposed to
their expenditure) frees up "stuff" to be delivered to the people who
hold current credits. It is somewhat irrelevant as to how the beans are
accounted.

Smarter than Democrats. Which is like morons saying they are smarter
than idiots. Which is true, but not adequate.
