It’s supposed to be for us, later, but it’s a Ponzi scheme repaying the prior generations for their contribution to the ponzi. The music will stop one day. Most likely when we are supposed to collect “what we contributed”. If they are still able to extract wealth from our kids and grandkids, then they’ll be able to pay us, but that’s not fair to them. The current generation of taxpayers is always unfairly burdened with paying exponentially more than the prior one to keep the scam that is social security, afloat.
