Heard a Democrat blame all this on Trump. If he hadnt boosted the economy it would have happened sooner. The Deep State announces these things when it can blame them on Republicans.

Why were Social Security funds, paid into by decent hardworking Americans, dispersed to the criminal illegal invaders from Mexico et al? Why weren’t stolen SS numbers looked into a WHOLE lot harder? Doesn’t SSI money come out of the Social Security pot? How about the bunch of drug addicts, who put THEMSELVES behind the 8-ball, receiving SSI payments vs. people like me who slaved away productively for so many years? I get my SS payments (which I haven’t started yet) reduced so money can go to illegals and druggies?

..... Doesn't anybody find it curious that the Government is running out of Social Security funds which we pay into and should receive .... But never runs out of Welfare funds that we also pay into and most never receive.

To: Theoria
BY the way they have had to supplement SS from the General Tax revenues for the last several years.

I will turn 62 around the time the fund will be depleted. I am pretty sure by that time I will be means tested, and if I have scrimped, saved and sacrificed I will be robbed of the funds I was forced to pay under penalty of law (self-employment: that's 12% of my income).
I will know where it went. The stories, both here on FR and from people to whom I've spoken, are legion. Social Security waiting rooms are filled with young people with "disabilities" and visitors to our country. They are right now spending my social security funds.
Yes, I'm pissed about it. If only my elected representatives were too.

Buffett’s salary is 100,000 per year. All of his salary is already subject to social security tax.

1)It’s just crumbs anyway/s
2) All monies to illegals in any form should be diverted to SS and Medicare
To: SkyDancer
There was never, ever, anything to “crack into” because the funds collected were never, ever invested in anything other than government debt. Without investment in growth and/or income producing assets like real estate or stocks, there is now and never was any possibility of the program being sustainable.
I can tell my wife I owe her a billion dollars, but it won’t make her a billionaire.
