You are paying the pensions of those who are already retired. Once you understand this, you see that whether you will get the benefits you are counting on when you retire depends on whether Congress will levy enough taxes, borrow enough, or print enough money...” ~ W. Allen Wallis former Chairman of the 1975 Advisory Council on Social SecuritySource: May 27, 1976
