[null and void]

When they try to cash their $100 billion welfare check and can’t by half a dozen eggs with it,

that’s when they’ll start to figure things out.

On the bright side, we'll get every penny we ever put into social security...

I may have already drawn every penny I and employers paid but I didn’t get any interest on it and I started paying when gasoline was less than thirty cents a gallon and now it costs around twelve times that in my area. I paid into social security as a teenaged Navy recruit earning sixty nine dollars a month and now sixty nine dollars a DAY is barely more than minimum wage for eight hours. When I started you could not put a hundred dollars worth of groceries in a pickup truck bed without side planks and now my wife at age 61 and on disability can carry a hundred dollars worth. I remember Carol Burnett on TV joking about someone stealing fifteen dollars worth of groceries form her glove compartment. It seemed hilarious at the time to say that you could PUT fifteen dollars worth in a glove compartment. Now I could carry that much in the pockets of a pair of cargo pants quite easily. In fact fifteen dollars worth of steak would fit in one pocket of my cargo pants.

I forget who the jackass was that testified before Congress, but

he said that he could guarantee that Social Security would pay out its monetary obligations,
but couldn’t guarantee that the money would be worth anything.
