So in spite of the promise not to cut SS benefits

[WorldWatcher]

Even with this CR, if you want to receive your early Social Security benefit at 62, you're free to do so.

Never said anything different.

Go back up the conversation, this pertains to the notion that raising the retirement age isn't a cut in benefits.

Ya, it is.

It’s a delay. It’s a necessary delay if you want the program to survive.

What's a "delay"? Raising the retirement age?

If the FRA is raised it's a cut in benefits. It is NOT a "delay" as you will not receive retro payments for any payments missed.

I noticed you didn’t deny it.

I can't deny what you can't produce. Provide the evidence.

Crepitus is an imbecile.

He is anything but, and you are not anywhere near swift. Better fight in your weight class, because he will clean your clock.

He’s an idiot. He can’t even wipe his ass and keep his fingers clean.

Look you fool, Social Security was created when most people died within a few years of collecting the benefit. That’s not the case anymore more. Plus many people are wanting to work beyond the age of 65.

Raising the age one year is not a hardship, nor is it a cut. A cut would be paying you less that what you currently receive. A person who’s not an idiot knows that.

I’d Democrats propose raising spending by 10% and Republicans propose a 5% increase instead, Democrats call that a 5% cut.

Well a person who is not an idiot knows that raising the retirement age IS a cut because the whole purpose is to reduce the amount of benefits paid.

Only an idiot ignores the impact over time.

So I’ve had my say, you’ve had your. Do you want to continue being wrong.

I’ll let your repeat your incorrect “logic” and you can have the last word.

A cut is getting less money in your check.

Keep trying, tahuyaman.

No, a cut is getting less money,

Doesn’t matter if it’s a lower check…

OR

Fewer checks.

If you get checks for $10. Is 10 checks totaling $100 more or less than 9 checks totaling $90?

Tayhuman cannot redefine definitions.

He is wrong and let him toddle along.
