Ostensibly you would only draw from SS what you’ve paid into it; of course, that’s only how it’s supposed to work, and not how it actually works. In reality, current SS payments go to pay benefits for current retirees, making it more of a Ponzi scheme that will leave today’s workers hung out to dry with nothing to show for all the money they’ve poured into it when it gets inevitably murdered.
But you still can only draw payments if you’ve been paying into it for at least ten years, which essentially makes it like giving the government a decade-long zero-interest loan.
