For the past 60 years, everyone has said “Social Security is an inviolable compact between the generations.”
Well, the compact got broken this year when SS recipients didn’t get their increase in ‘cola’ because of inflation.
I think the government employees unionists and Congress got theirs however. Apparently the compact with themselves is more sacred.

Actually, no, EVERYONE did not say that.
The Supreme Court of the United States said, in 1960, that no one has any right to receive Social Security benefits, regardless of how much they have paid in Social Security tax or for how long they paid them. Also, even if you’ve already been getting SS checks, you can be cut of at any time for any reason or no reason.
