Social security has several trillions of dollars in future unfunded liabilities. I understand the whole third rail of politics thing , and we’re not supposed to say anything about it. But the problem is real.

It is frustrating that we apparently are not allowed to talk about the problem , but the problem is there whether we talk about it or not

It’s a Democrat program. Let the Democrats solve it.

The essence of pre-Trump Republican political stupidity was the to take the blame for the Social Security tax increases, while Dems got the credit for “saving” Social Security.

Biden passed 4 trillion in new spending in two years for the criminals in Washington. The Inflation Reduction Act and an Infrastructure bill. Republicans in The Senate voted for both these bills and now they want to cut people’s retirement? What a world.

It is well past time to scrap the social security program.

Why not overhaul the disability portion which is where the fraud and wasted money is. I’m still 14 years out on getting social security but I find it dumb to focus on it before an election. Between this and some wanting a nation wide ban on abortion, we may end up literally with 4 seats in the house. Lol.
