>> Money’s tight - let’s stop sending money to Ukraine.
Yep. It’s more than tight — it’s a vapor. WE HAVE NO MONEY.
Stop sending money we don’t have to Ukraine!!!
The fun part is filling out 292+ million tickets without getting writer’s cramp....
you da man...
LOL
Someone explain to me how a mere increase in population supposedly exacerbates this problem.
Rather, it's the change in the demographic make-up (in particular: in the age pyramid, due to dropping birth rates) that is worsening the problem.
Regards,
The life expectancy is a misnomer.
Even at the outset, once one reached adulthood they were expected to reach the age of 65yo.
COLA caused the insolvency.
It gonna be way sooner than that because the US government is going to run out cash. Bankrupt!
No worries. It’s safe in the lockbox I read about.
I’ll be 80 by then and I can easily survive on my other sources of income. It’s not like I’ll be out globetrotting by then.
Considering the nation is 35 trillion in debt with 100s of trillions in unfunded liabilities, SS is broke already.
What did we think would happen when we offshored our tax base?
More benefits to the consumers, courtesy of the free traitors.
Let me get this straight. Our Government is stealing from the people and giving billions of our tax monies away ,but can’t put money in S.S. ? Like millions of Americans out there ,I have put in that pot since I was 16 years old. Now your telling me you blew it all when I have 2-1/2 years to go. I wish i had all that money put back in savings, like I would have done. I really F@CKING HATE YOU CORKSORKERS! Your time is coming.
They wouldn’t be in financial trouble if they didn’t put the money into the general fund so they could spend it
Unlike Zelensky, who appears to have an endless supply of American billion$.
Wish we had some Representatives in D.C. who gave a damn about Americans.
“COLA caused the insolvency.”
Nope, politicians caused the insolvency.
"But the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services. We conclude that, under a paper-money system, a determined government can always generate higher spending and hence positive inflation." - Ben Bernanke (14th chairman of the Federal Reserve from 2006 to 2014)
As long as the US gov't can create money at will, it won't run out of money.
Been hearing the same thing for the last 30 years. Got tons of issues but that’s because the government is running it. I can’t think of one thing the government runs that actually works right.
Wish we had some Representatives in D.C. who gave a damn about Americans.
Wish Americans gave a damn about holding Representatives in D.C. accountable.
