I was just thinking that with thousands dying from Covid, that the pressure on Social Security should be lessening. Has anyone seen an analysis?
More money for those of us that live! Woohoo!
JK.
None that I’m aware of.
Maybe that’s why they are withholding treatments until you need oxygen and are hospitalized.
That got buried because it questioned the narrative.
More money for imported democrats
As I understand it, annualized death rates for 2020 are very much in line with 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016.
I would not expect Social Security to be impacted in the slightest.
Only true if any of this was real. It’s not real, and it’s not happening. As you are well aware.
I think it’s only about 8 billion or so a year saved from all of the deaths.
These days, that’s an addendum to a bill.
No real change in total mortality, probably so far a wash
I would compare it to removing a gallon of water from an olympic sized swimming pool
I am not an analyst, but I play one on Free Republic
Interesting. The costs. 1970 civic class. One student asked “Why don’t they just shoot em’? 1) That would work. 2) It’s been done before-genocide. He was being factious but there’s an uncomfortable truth out there somewhere.
Put Cuomo in as nation wide mover of Covid patients into nursing homes. Social security payouts will plummet!
Chances are that 99% of Covid cases in the elderly was a complication but not the actual cause of death.
social security is backed up due to covid, lots of people 62 and above has lost jobs, and applied for benefit, like me, i finally will get mine this month.. after 5 months
Probably doesn’t matter. There aren’t any more people dying than a normal year. All the deaths are just labeled Covid so we will be scared. Its all BS!!!!!
Karl Denninger took a look at their numbers last week as proof that there’s no “excess deaths” this year. Sure enough, no discernable drop in benefit payments (and, yes, they apparently are hyper vigilant at stopping payments on death).
The folks that were dying were way down the list—they were not costing near as much (on a monthly basis) as those retiring now.
The REAL savings is going to come for Medicaid budgets. Imagine how many of the NY nursing home folks were state-pays. At $6,500 a month (minimum negotiated medicaid amount in MA is about that) for 6,900 seniors means the state is saving about $44 million a MONTH. Or Half a BILLION a year ($538 MM).
The overall death rate in the US has not changed during the pandemic. For some odd reason it is controversial to say this, but the now hidden Johns Hopkins research proved this to be true.
Based on that and the overall size of social security, I would guess that the overall impact is not even noticeable.
“...Maybe that’s why they are withholding treatments until you need oxygen and are hospitalized....”
That’s just one facet of the multi-faceted CCP-colluded planned virus release. They should all hang for this.
It's not a benefit. It is money due you as you have paid into it your entire working life, unless you worked under the table. Still, you can file for an amount according to your deductions from your paychecks. Yes, I know it's a lousy system.
