10 million people on disability. Most largely much younger than 65. This doesn’t even account for the SSI that SSA manages and disburses for Obama and his government.
People who worked their whole lives see their full benefit age delayed year by year.
While the money they put in goes to pay for who-knows-what for who-knows-whom.
“60,199,914 beneficiaries”
Likely a large percentage of which don’t deserve benefits.
“8,896,604 disabled workers”
Mostly scammers.
Is the Pyramid Scheme called Social Security still holding up?
It’s a cancer.
I’ll bet no more than 20% are elderly who paid into Social Security their entire lives.
Only Retirees and spouses should be on that list. Get rid of the rest.
SS gets raped between disability and Medicaid.
Got mine before they start handing out I.O.U’s to the new filers. Could have waited but didn’t.
[[The total number of beneficiaries includes retired workers and their dependents, survivors of deceased workers, and disabled workers and their dependents.]]
Yep- the gubmint puts able bodied people onto disability because they won’t go out and find work, or can’t find work, then turns around and complains about how many people are on disability
Just par for the course with idiots running our government
A married couple, with both working, each pay into Social Security. Spend all their working lives *both* paying into SS as a partnership.
They begin to collect, and after a time, one passes away.
The survivor of the partnership continues to collect on the payments that the partnership has made, right?
Wrong. The survivor only collects on one of the SS accounts (the larger of the two). Oh, you’ve had your family wages confiscated for 40 years and you think you’re getting it back? Nope.
