SS was essentially and is essentially a pyramid scheme. I am sure some of its creators even realized that. I guess figures he won’t be the one leaning on his sword.
That and with nowhere near enough young people to care for their elders or pay for their care personally, dismantling SS because of its financial state is about like grabbing a high-voltage wire because it’s in the way - you may be right but you’re gonna pay for it.
I hate to say it but Donald is taking an extremely practical stance on the issue. I’m sure he’s run the numbers or had someone do it for him, but if he has any brains he must know how much the retired and near-retired would FREAK.
