We are constantly threatened with Social Security bankruptcy if we don’t give the feral government more tax money but we never hear them voice concern about the imminent collapse of welfare programs
The government has abused the Social Security program by using it as a general welfare program instead of a contributory retirement plan for people who have actually worked.
People who have actually worked and contributed have an entitlement.
People who have not contributed but are paid Social Security benefits under the governments expansion of coverage do not have an entitlement.
Return Social Security to it’s original function as a retirement plan and it won’t always be on the threshold of collapse.
Stop the payment of Social Security benefits to others who have not contributed and it will be more viable and sustainable.
If the government wants to provide money to others it should be done through some other program - not Social Security.
The reason they do it through Socical Security is to make it easier for them to scare people into supporting tax increases.
When the government warns us that “Social Security is running out of money” many millions of people who contributed become upset and easier to manipulate.
If they say “We are running out of money to hand over to illegal aliens and slackers” they won’t get much support from those same millions of Social Security beneficiaries.

Prior to “Global Warming/Climate Change/Climate Crisis”, SS was the largest financial scam in recorded history. The abuse of the system is the reason it’s in bad shape. LBJ and the democrats gave it a fatal dose of politicalization when they moved it into the general budget in order to hide the true costs of the Vietnam War, The Great Society, & The War On Poverty, all of which were dismal failures.
