Exactly! In the words of the late Bobby McFerrin “Don’t worry, be happy”

When I was a young Marine, a bar I used to frequent had a BIG chart of mixed drinks posted on the wall.

It had them all in alphabetical order with their prices.

I tried to do the list one night after duty.

I never made it to ‘G’ which was Grasshopper......................

Perhaps we can elect AMERICANS in 2024 to remedy this woke, communist, pit Biden has created?

I’ll be 61 at that time. This is pretty much what I thought would happen.

This should engender a violent reaction against our ruling class, hopefully. Eliminate all illegals where they are found, for good measure.

She means that all existing benefits at that time will be reduced by 24%, if they want to balance the income and outlays of Social Security at that time.

My opinion is it will go ‘broke’ waaay sooner than 9 years.....probably 4-5 years....

It will be like a bank run, all those eligible who are not yet taking benefits will immediately begin taking benefits and the whole think will collapse.

So it looks like the idea on giving ss funds to illegals was to bankrupt seniors?

We need to support foreign aid and Ukraine more. If everyone took a 40% cut in Social Security, would we have more money for them.

I have been getting my SS ever since I was deemed ‘eligible’ for full benefits, at 66 1/3 years. Now 68+.

Still working, so I don’t ‘need’ the money yet.

Have been putting the money in the bank and an IRA ever since.

So when I do retire finally at 70, I’ll have a fairly good retirement, house paid off in 2017, SS plus a small VA pension..................

Cut 24% from federal spending right now and you won't have to default on my contributions of my lifetime into social security.

Old people can be very dangerous because they met their obligations for 65 years.

hmm I have and idea, cut congress critters salaries to zero that's about what they are worth. they can still collect their graft and inside trading deals and still be millionaires in a couple of years...

Yellen should ask the Biden’s how to manage money, they seem to be good at it..

my suggestion pay per view executions of convicted guilty traitors...

The “Biden Administration” is simply a collection of amateurs in just about everything. This is a problem Trump and his economic team could probably solve in a week.

The Dems and RINOs would block them at every turn, of course, because Washington has never been into solving problems, just prolonging them for maximum dollars.
