Get rid of DI and SSI..... Should never have been part of SS.
Get real.
The Congress will never let that happen. They’ve got the WD-40 to grease up the printing presses when the need arises.
And at this point, what’s another couple of hundred extra billions? The dollar’s fate has been sealed for years anyway.
“Means testing” folks. Coming soon to a Congressional Bill affecting YOU.
The Obamacare Death Panels will be a major plus for SocSec.
Every year sliced off the lifespan is huge for the financials.
Bttt.
We’re all gonna die! Women and children hardest hit.
The disability fund is practically broke right now. Social Security will run out of money in 10 years. Not to worry though, 0bama says there is no crisis.
Every dime I've "contributed" to my Social Security fund was spent before I even started earning it.
Paging President-to-be Albert Gore (2000) ... Please pickup the red phone and inform the world about that sacrosanct Social Security Lockbox. Apparently it has gone missing and since you were the last person to ‘own it’, you need to find it.
I have had enough...
IF..social security is a fund..
FIRE THE FUND MANAGER..
any goofball out of school can get 7% on investments..
social security ( and most union run pension programs ) get less than 3%...
my god, with a fund worth TRILLIONS of dollars you should be making TRILLIONS of dollars annually...
fire the managers, pay a private fund real good cash, and the whole damn thing would be solvent in less than 7 years...
why do we, the people, continue to pay for incompetence and/or corruption on this grand a scale...
How much money would we save if illegals were sent home AND Mexico was BILLED for the ‘services’ they used while in the United States?
The savings can be applied to Social Security.
As sure as the sun will rise, sometime in the next administration, either republican or democrat, there will be a whole new set of taxes to keep SS afloat....bank on it. Sorry to say, but America loves its SS.
The $250,000 plus that I have and am currently paying into SS and Medicare has already been spent.
I decided to start Collecting my SS at 62 simply because I have some Health Issues that don’t lend themselves for me living a long Life on Planet Earth. It will also help to pay our Monthly $1,900 Health Insurance Premiums thanks to Obamacare.
I’m not even getting my first Check until Two Months after my 62nd Birthday, what a rip. LOL
Pretty good thread so far, almost 20 responses and no “The Government Promised Me!!! Gimme My Lockbox!!!” yet.
