There is no budget problem. Johnson broke the piggy bank and made the national treasury the new piggy bank. Therefore, as long as there is money to operate any part of the government there is sufficient money for Social Security. Stop the scare tactics.
Precisely. SS spending is mandatory spending. The real cuts can be made to the critters’ pork barrel: discretionary spending.
Cutting SS would be equivalent to stopping EBT, but the oldsters would march on the capitol, not the suburbs.
If they turned DC into museums (and ghettos) and the critters worked by public Skype, we could see how the sausage is made.
In this electronic age, why are we still doing government as it was done in 1788? Kill the alphabet govt. agencies!
