PS: SS is giving out money to those who’ve not paid into it so that’s where a lot of the deficit comes from.

SS has been raided and raped by a new hoarde of disabled. For example, the guy down the road who gets an SS disability check because he is basically too fat to run anymore. He was on the local police force.
He goes by here riding his Harley. He is 2/3 my age and gets around better than I do. I see him when I am outside working.
Obama made SS disability the permanent replacement for welfare.

Those recipients of SSI are receiving SS welfare for lack of a better term. Entitlement based on zero contributions or lack of enough paid-incoverage quarters to the system.

SS or SSDI is indexed by the actual EARNINGS of a wage earner of FICA taxable wages. If this was an entitlement it wouldn't be indexed by earnings and just be a fixed amount like SSI.
