Won’t be a big deal. The earth will be dead in 10.2 years.

Seriously....up until now during the great “Pandemic” that had been narry a word about the Social Security “crisis”.

The hope was that there would be enough of a die-off to kick the can down the road.

It wasn’t kicked far enough.

Ready for the Soylent Green new deal?

I’m presently getting monthly social security checks.
I earned this money after many years of work.
If you stupid Democrats would quit giving my money to people that didn’t pay into the system we would not have a problem.

No worries, Congress has the solution: just print ANOTHER $9 trillion in baseless currency. What could possibly go wrong?

Can’t they just print up a few Trillion Dollar bills? I think Pelosi or someone talked about doing that.

It’s only money.

Glad I applies ed early.....but wait, won’t they just print money? That’s what they always do....And I know that is stupid, but somehow, I believe that is what they will do. They won’t let it belly up. Elections, etc.....Unless it is timed with our total downfall....which is also coming and may arrive sooner.

Of course they will. Which will increase inflation, which means that unless they increase your Social Security to counter the effects of inflation, you’re actually losing money.

It was always funny money. It was never a “savings” system, just pay as you go, that went to finance the Fedgov. The “assets” are just government bonds.

Or you could take Trump’s approach and get the economy running on all cylinders so that your tax revenues are higher and you can afford to keep your promises.

They’d better shorten that time frame because the people coming up from the South are going to bring elderly extended family who are going to put a strain on the system.

I paid plenty into the system, but will get nothing in return due to my receiving a modest government pension. Hard to give a fig about what happens to SS . . .

Then the question to ask the feds is:

If the soc sec money runs out in 13 years, why are you giving it to people who never paid in?
