Curly, Larry, and Moe looked at each other quizzically.
Moe raised his hand. Uncle Sam spotted him and said, "You, mop head, what is your question?"
Moe said, "The national debt clock shows the government already has over $128 trillion in unfunded promises to others. How will our money be invested? Will it be used to make good on promises already made to other people?"
Uncle Sam paused for a moment and said, "Those details will be worked out. While that may happen, younger people will take part in this program too, so they will help pay for your retirement when the time comes."
Moe could barely contain himself. "Isn't that a Ponzi scheme? I thought they were illegal?"
Uncle Sam paused and said, "Ponzi schemes are illegal, unless they are run by the government. What's your problem? I mean, come on! Doesn't everyone trust the government?"
