We’re broke, so it’s gotta be cut. People who haven’t saved on their own were just plain stupid.
There are far too many “other” areas which can be cut....S.S. is not the Gov.s money it’s the peoples money who paid into it. Let them cut all the fraud and waste first...
People who saw 6% deducted from their pay for forty years might think they did 'save'. Maybe you're just plain stupid when you ignore the reckless and irresponsible acts of politicians and choose to insult people who contributed to that system all their working years.
I think SS should be phased out over time staring with the option of investing our own SS payments. But I don’t understand why they always want to stick it to the seniors instead of the perfectly healthy, but terribly lazy, 20-somethings sitting on the couch collecting benefit after benefit. The chick in our local grocery throwing a tantrum because WIC pays for only whole milk and she prefers 2% springs to mind...
No more retirement. We gotta work til we can’t then starve and die.
Disability will be destroyed for the people who really are disabled - and Social Security will be destroyed for those who are too old to work. And the promise made to the young still paying into the system will be broken.
All so the same old same old can work one more scam.
When the system is bankrupt those who are truly disabled and without family will die. Same with the 80 year old grandfather... Scammers won't be hurt - they'll get work or go on to steal from some new victim.
