In the early 2000's our government gave huge tax breaks to rich people because we had a projected surplus. They could have put that money into social security. If they borrowed from the fund, put it back. Period.I like and want to keep social security but it needs to be fixed. My buddy from childhood moved to Australia and they way they do it there would be much better than here.
We also have waste and abuse that should be cleaned up
And we have people who should be on it that get denied
On top of that we have politicians who "borrowed" the funds
A better system needs to be implemented
And we also launched 2 wars that lasted 20 years each of them. How much did we spend on 2 wars we didn't see coming? So we somehow came up with the money when it was war. We should be able to come up with funds to fill the social security bucket.
