I hate to break this to you, but SS was never intended to retire on... it was intended to make sure widows and orphans had security.. the life expectancy at the time it passed was lower than the age it kicked in for retirement, few actually collected it for retirement back then...
It was never intended to be what it has become.
That said, you can’t take it away from folks who have spent there entire lives expecting it, and planning around having it.
You can't take it away for one reason, WE gave them our money and THEY are providing minimal returns on it. It's a Ponzi Scheme, but it's their Ponzi scheme and they used our money elsewhere and we are owed our money back with interest.
I already know.
Nowadays it is what it is, not what it was intended to be.
I recall hearing the Term “Social Security Insurance” when I was growing up.
When I was diagnosed with Leukemia at age 52, the Doctor told me I should expect to live 10 to 15 Years with the Treatment Regimens at the time. I told him great, looks like I’m getting ripped off by SS and Medicare, just like my two Friends were.
Have to Die so those Old Hillary loving Democrat Women can have a great Retirement. It seems like they live forever and then show up at Democrat Townhall’s to complain how they really hate sharing the Kibble and Bits with their Dogs.
