Because the Supreme Court ruled in Fleming vs. Nestor that the government is not contractually obligated to pay Social Security benefits, people who think they are entitled to their SS benefits because they paid into the fund may be sadly surprised. You only get benefits if Congress authorizes payment, and that can change at any time.
Who but the Leftists who have been using SS contributions as a piggy bank to fund all their give-away programs thought this was a good idea?
Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t know that the gov’t does not have to pay SS. They think that they paid into the system for years and the gov’t promise to pay it back is as good as gold.
Rule #1 of Socialism: The primary beneficiaries of a socialist program are the socialist politicians. Everything after is fluff.
If they don’t send out the monthly checks, the people will stop sending the feds quarterly payments. Then the democrats truly won’t have any money to spend. I don’t see this happening.
