And the money you paid in is gone. Turned into IOUs at the Treasury by politicians.
The money you are receiving is being paid by your kids, and eventually your grandkids.
If you live till your normal life expectancy, you will get a lot more back than you paid in. Especially when you consider all of the young unemployed people collecting Social Security disability payments for 40 or 50 years.
Ponzi scheme.
