My liberal relatives were trying to scare my grandmother about that.
She educated them about the fact that social security could only be cut off through a conscious effort.
“My liberal relatives were trying to scare my grandmother about that.”
I wonder what the overlap is between the scare-granny types and the ones who swear SS is fully funded and not a Ponzi scheme ?
Unless the government is planning on spending the funds on something not related to Social Security, the funds are there and won’t be touched. It is a lie that it won’t be paid and it would be illegal.
People should call the Liberals bluff and point out that SS is supposed to be in a “lock box” and not be pilfered for general expenses.
If they claim that the funds can’t be protected, then point out that it is illegal or at minimum crooked for them to steal from the retirement fund — the root cause of the mess we find ourselves in.
