My two closest Childhood Friends both died at age 61.
They paid in hundreds of thousands of dollars and poof, it’s gone.
What a system...

[[This is three years sooner than expected a year ago, partly due to lower economic growth projections,]]
Well we’ve got higher growth now (I’m assuming they mean jobs growth? ) so now things should go back the other way, right?
And I’m sorry- but our country can find many hundreds of billions of dollars to send to terrorist nations, rogue nations, and nations trying to build nuclear bombs- but can’t find money to help OUR nation’s neediest people like seniors, disabled and disabled veterans? Can’t find money to put it to work earning to grow the SS fund kitty?

LBJ did break into the SSA lock box, but it was to pay for his “Great Society”, not the VN war. The money went into the General Fund.

” Social Security program’s costs will exceed its income this year.”
Sad, but true. Anti-Christian and anti-American losers have promoted smaller families and failed to see how their retirement depends on larger families. Yes, anti-Christian and anti-American losers are slow.

Social Security... turning “conservatives” into full-throated Communists since 1935.

There is no “Trust Fund.” only as book entry. Those funds were stolen LONG AGO.

How come welfare recipients never have to worry about cut back in ‘benefits’?

This entire story is a lie. There is no “social security trust fund”. Never have been. It’s all “invested” in treasury bonds. That means it’s just another debt that the U.S. taxpayer is going to have to pay. Y’all hang on to your wallets folks! The government is going to want it all!
