I don’t want to hear word one from anyone about cutting Social Security as we continue to pi$$ away upwards of billion a day on Uke corruption.

I guess your not familiar with brandons America last policy 😏
In 1935, the government passed the Social Security Act,
establishing government welfare for retirees and setting a
formal age of retirement at 65. This number is important. In
1935, the average life expectancy was on 61.7 years, but
that included a high rate of infant mortality. A little over
half of people who survived to age 21 were expected to make
it to 65, and were expected to only need social security
for about 12 years before passing away. With many Americans
working in rough conditions, few could work past 65 anyway,
so this was a good age for retirement. People at 65 needed
welfare, and since they were only supposed to live into
their 70s, it wasn’t a huge strain on the government.

Social security will get a automatic 20% cut in the future when things get worse.

It makes sense to move the age incrementally to 70 or 72. Obviously this would be for people not yet working and thus not officially “in” the system. Just as we moved it from 65 to 67+, time to move it up to 72 with limited benefits beginning at 65.

Your #5. Are you supporting cuts to social security?
Curiously you never hear a word from these people about cutting welfare, or shuttering the multitude of useless government agencies that suck our tax dollars. Not to mention the endless wars and giveaways to the Ukraine.
Unfortunately, the gov scum also added a lot of others to the SS money teat (to buy votes) besides those citizens who were forced to pay in at gunpoint.
