.

It should be important to also acknowledge that our Unfunded Liabilities amount to more than half of the entire world's wealth ...
Meaning the Government could take everything from every Citizen in the United States and still not cover the bill ... 👍

Instead ... The Current Administration is printing money and giving it to Foreign Nationals.
The best piece of advice ... Don't hold your breath thinking the Government can fix this boondoggle.

That's a foolish but very popular argument from the far left: The Prison of Two Ideas. It's just goofy and sounds like a five—or six-year-old child. You are saying there is no place in between. Either we continue willy-nilly spending trillions more than we're taking in or get rid of it entirely. How childish.

You have no solution, so you wrinkle up your face and whine.

I'm older than dirt. I was a Realtor for 45+ years and invested in rental properties, so I'm fine. Now, folks coming to retirement in five, ten, or more years, I hope you have a good investment plan already in practice.

When you actually read all of it you can see it's not as bad as you make it out to be. And they aren't even putting a bill up or anything, they are talking about ways to keep social security alive for the next generation to retire.

If our economy wasn't in the shitter and we were wasting trillions like we are right now no one would need to bring up social security.

I know you don't like republicans and doing your imitation of chicken little, but you're jumping the gun.

It isn't a savings account or an annuity.

It didn't start that way, but it has become the biggest Ponzi scheme our country has ever seen. Bernie Madoff is green from envy, or maybe now it's mold! :D

How is it not a Ponzi scheme

Pon·zi scheme
[ˈpänzē ˌskēm]
noun
  1. a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors:
    "a classic Ponzi scheme built on treachery and lies"

People get out of SS based on what they put in, so raising the cap means those that pay more only get more out

So no that solution won’t work its own

The solution is so what Sweden did
