The only reform the American people will accept is lifting the cap.
Since the ‘EXEMPT ONES’ in D.C. have their own plan, they won’t suffer one iota. Only the sheeple will hurt and lose out when SS goes belly up.
The day will come when the sheeple have to rise up and make the exempt ones, feel the pain. Force every cut to SS have a corresponding cut to their own exempt pensions.
Mark my words.
I PAID IN!!
OPEN UP THE LOCK BOX AND GIMME MY MONEY!!
THE GOVERNMENT PROMISED ME!!
TAX MY KIDS!!
IT'S NOT FAIIRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Grab it at 62, folks...better something than nothing.
Personally I expect nothing less than the whole program to be cancelled and a ‘new’ one created.
One that screws over a whole bunch of people by raising the age of initial benefit payouts to 80 years of age.
As far as SSDI it needs to go away as an adjunct program of Social Security. If it’s truly needed then it needs it’s own funding path.
Kids? More like govt slaves! When you own another human for profit, even your own offspring, you are a slave owner.
I'm not sure which one is worse LBJ or what's his name.
With all of the illegals that will be soon collecting.That system is going to draw down quick.Just like S.S.I.
With that program drug addicts and alcoholics drinking there lives away.They’re all qualified to collect S.S.I.
I am sitting in a Social Security Office at this very moment. My wife and I are here to get our government goodies as I turn 65 in July. I have a visceral negative reaction when I enter any goverment facility. This place creeps me out. Sullen faces all herded together on hard little chairs waiting for their opportunity to plead their case for a chunk of government cheese. Security guard trying to keep himself busy looking important.
So do we start withdrawing as soon as we are able at 62, or try to save it by not withdrawing funds till 67 or 70? I have been paying into it for 46 years, should I start withdrawing as soon as I can, which would be this year for me?
Would some call me selfish since I am still working?
