ME..ME. I do. But what does that have do do with anything? I bought
and paid for those. Against my will though. If I'd had my druthers,
I'd rather have eschewed SS and taken care of myself; I did anyway but
could have done WAY better if I'd been able to use the SS tax that the
feds forced upon me.

Hindsight is 20/20. Foresight not so good.

Nonsense. Anyone with the most basic of math skills could see that it

Plus SSI was there for you had
you needed it all your working years - investments not so much.

SSI is a *completely* different program. It has *nothing* to do with
SS, other than it is administered by the same dysfunctional
organization.
