how much of illegal immigrant invaders stolen from social security? nobody ever talks about that. Maybe that would help wake up a libtard.
There likely won’t be a US by 2097, unfortunately.
Yes. Next question.
But first! Are all the recipients of SS legitimat recipients or are the roles being padded with people who were never intended to be covered by SS?
If a private pension was run the way the Social Security has been, it would be the scandal of the century and people responsible would be in jail. It happened many years ago with the Teamsters Union. Stealing pension money is apparently okay when the government does it to buy votes. Soon it will benefit no one.
“trust fund”
Stopped reading right there.
Not clicking on an MSN link to read the article.
Anyhow, I remember Al Gore’s “lockbox” well enough to know that Congress has been stealing from Social Security for decades.
The IOUs in the “lockbox” are just an added theft from the grandchildren of the people whose Social Security payments were stolen previously by Congress.
We know that the IOUs are “fulfilled” by the Federal Reserve devaluing the currency.

So 49.6 of 66.7 million SS recipients are retired. That works out to 74.4%. So the other 25.6% are not retired but receive SS benefits anyway. Sounds like using fuel tax money intended to maintain highways being used to build bike paths.
The Covid relief plan lost 200 billion; in the Iraq war, 4 billion can’t be accounted for. This doesn’t begin to reveal how much of our tax money is mishandled. Best case scenario is that it’s just lost; worst case scenario is that it’s been stolen. How, with a straight face, can anyone say the government will do more good with our money than we will by keeping it? Think about how much in taxes you pay every year, to the feds and local government. Then consider how it’s squandered by corrupt and incompetent bureaucrats. Are you getting your money’s worth?
“Certificates of indebtedness” is generational theft and congress did the thieving.
People are stupid if they do not understand this fact.
The truth will out?????
The answer is that the federal government has borrowed all of that trust fund money and spent it, exactly as Krauthammer asserted. And the only way the trust fund can get some cash to pay Social Security benefits is if the federal government draws it from general revenues or borrows the money—which, of course, it can’t do because of the debt ceiling.
How about if we sic the IRS on the entire Federal Government?
don’t worry - everyone will get every penny promised to you by Social Security
The problem is, with inflation - it won’t even buy a loaf of bread.
Does Congress have a big wheel of fortune on the floor with out SS slot.
It would only surprise me if the answer was *no*.
For decades Social Security receipts were flooding in and the politicians were rolling in the money. Instead of finding ways to invest and increase the fund they bought votes by adding new kinds of beneficiaries, one of the biggest is the disability payments. SS was illegally created but it was only supposed to help the retirements of workers who contributed and not to pay others for so many things including disability.
We wouldn’t be in this predicament if the only people getting SS money were the people who worked for a living and put into the system.
