Social Security

[Yadkin]

I think the system is going to go belly up, cut benefits 25% in 2033 or so.

[LATB]

They should offer cash buyouts.

[Big bob]

If you really want to try thinking. Try thinking about that poor little girl and any others that you abused and refuse to own up to.

[Yadkin]

Try thinking about the man that you killed. And the family that he was supporting. And the kids that had to grow up without a father.

I am the youngest member here but I've been listening to this music for years. Some of you may have been tuned in for the last 60 years or so.

I've worked hard, lived within my means, invested, all within the concept that FedCo's Ponzi scheme would crash the day that I retire. And it's all come to fruition. So now, any money I get from it is dedicated to things that I don't need, like two seat sports cars and European river cruises.

No one in congress will touch the third rail. It would be political suicide.

If anything they'll keep raising the retirement age.

They will means test, and screw the top percentages. The folks that worked hard and made good decisions.

You’re talking about the people who funded the majority of SS through their “contributions”. Meanwhile the slugs who didn’t work will get a check in the spirit of “equity”.

[slewfoot]

Yeh but a vote to change SS will also be a vote for change of representatives. I don't believe for one second the majority voting pubs will stand for this with anyone messing with SS.

Even putting in the effort will pretty much be the end of their political career. Reminds me of this:


https://www.politifact.com/article/2...health-plan-n/

Ever since he was a presidential candidate, President Donald Trump has been promising the American people a "terrific," "phenomenal" and "fantastic" new health care plan to replace the Affordable Care Act.

But, in the 3½ years since he set up shop in the Oval Office, he has yet to deliver.


Yeh, okay!

[DAB]

Congress has no trouble finding money for all sorts of unplanned things. Bridges that fall into the water, various wars that are not conducted on our soil, natural disasters here and there. And none of them vote. Old folks vote, you mess with their money at your peril.

Yeh, okay!

Perhaps because Congress has to do that, not the POTUS. Unless you’re Bidumb and just issue Executive Order after Executive Order even after the Supreme Court says he doesn’t have the authority.

Is that a fact?

[Taurus]

They will never cut benefits, they'll raise the tax burden on the wealthy along with increase the rates on businesses and working individuals first.

[Wathen1955]

Wonder if there are millionaires to collect SS? SS would be fine if the politicians kept their hands out of the cookie jar, and quit giving it to people that have never made a contribution to it.

Typical liberal who doesn't know how government works. All he cares about is how the government will take care of him, because the government knows what's best for him.

Tax the rich to give to everyone else.
