Awwww! The demoncraps won’t have anymore money to play with.
I got mine you get yours. Millennials? Screw them. They’re Marxists anyway. They’re for getting rid of those not useful.
Gramps said no big deal, he’s got a shotgun to go do his shopping with.
What trust fund? It is made up of IOUs as the SS payments are part of the general fund.
If we keep Trump in office and STOP throwing billions of dollars away on illegals the program won’t go broke.
Can members of previous decades of Congress and Administrations who kicked the can down the road be used for selling their body parts to raise funds for SS?
Ok so I read it. Set up your own trust fund? Ain’t gonna happen with most of us. It has to be MANDATORY just like SSI. So how do the brain dead millennials pay my SSI AND set up THEIR OWN accounts? How many of those are thinking about retirement? The only thing on their minds rhymes with wussy. That and paying for their next tattoo.
Do welfare and food stamps ever run short?
What happens? Fed.gov just issues more debt in our printed, fiat currency.
The Federal Reserve suppresses interest rates and/or engages in buying up that debt.
Problem solved, can kicked down the road.
Social security would be nowhere near bankrupt if congress paid back the billions upon billions of dollars they ‘borrowed’ from SS funds. Congress is on the hook to SS.
Maybe Social Security should not be allowed to spend more than it takes in. Try that!
Plus the cost of housing, feeding, educating, and providing medical care for ILLEGALS. And LEGAL defense as well.
Wait...
This cannot possibly be happening. AL Gore told me that SS was in a “Lock Box”, and did not need to be saved. The media told me that anyone daring to question that was a hater of OLD PEOPLE!.
What do I do now?
Probably the same thing that happens when any other ponzi scheme blows up....last people to pay in fet the shaft
It’s not a trust fund. It’s a Fedzilla run Ponzi scheme.
Soc Sec might run out of funds but you can bet welfare will continue to be funded.
My maternal and paternal grandparents had their share of tough times during the Depression. Even so, they managed to save and invest wisely. They weren’t living like the Trumps by any stretch of the imagination but still did very well for themselves. And with Soc Security as a supplement lived out their later years comfortably.
Government will print money to avoid reducing the benefits.
Think it has hit the fan over kids at the border, screw with Social Security and see what happens.
