Trying to grab the moral high ground by pitting the life of a US child against a non-US child is bogus - a typical liberal strawman to incite compassion for your position. The whole debate stays in the US.
What is truly insane is expecting millions of hardworking forward-planning people who have contributed 30-40 years to SS simply give up the hope of every receiving any money from SS at retirement, rather than trying to fix the problem with cuts, taxes, blah, blah, and restoring in the “utes” the same hope we’ve had for decades. And for all you libtards that will quickly follow with “but the money is not there” - BS. The IOUs are there. The payouts can continue while fixing the system.

Horse puckey. There is no intrinsically greater value to the life of a U.S. child than some other child. If you are actually going to try and make a moral case for the above, I will simply watch in pity because you are delusional.
$220000 can save a hell of a lot more than one life if spent well. This is simple cost benefit analysis (not something your ‘libtards’ bother with). You are just someone who can’t actually fashion a real argument so you toss around ad hominems.

You are obviously as ignorant economically as you are morally.
The money isn’t there. It is a Ponzi scheme. Those always go broke. It is their very nature. The only thing you can do by stretching out a Ponzi scheme is make the crash harder and worse for more people.
The details of why we can’t just keep cruising ahead with the current system has been explained repeatedly here in a very clear manner. Just because you are either too obtuse to pay attention, or incapable of understanding it, doesn’t change the truth of it.
