re: High credit score = no assistance from FEMA

So you will accept money from a government program that you and I both pay taxes into, even though I will not get money from that program until much later than you.

If I don't plan on getting money from SS, and you are younger than me, I don't think you will either.

In theory, though, social security was designed to BE a program that paid individual benefits. (Granted, over the years, that's turned out to not be true). However, social security benefits are at least somewhat tied in to your salary and thus your tax payments made over the years into that specific program (up to a cap).

This is opposed to what you are seeking, which is money from the general fund.

This isn't apples to apples, this is apples to alligators.
