Social Security recipients aren’t moochers or takers. Any argument that tries to lump them in such a percentage for political points is going to be rejected by the American people.

That’s what everybody says about their checks.

That’s why the 49% of the American people are going to keep getting those checks until there is no more money left to borrow.

Then everyone will be a moocher.

Those were the old days. There is now an entire lawyer specialty devoted to winning disability status, long before retirement age. I've lost count of all the people lately with Medicare who are otherwise healthy and in their early thirties these days.

No, SS recipients are not moochers but they refuse to allow the law to be fixed because of their greediness.
We should be doing means testing but then again, greedy Americans start screaming. There are
many seniors out there that do not need SS.
We must fix this mess but don’t touch mine.

Perhaps you are not aware of how SS has expanded beyond its originally scope.

Choose the right ailment and you have a disability check for life.

I know “immigrants” that come here just long enough to get citizen ship and then go back home to live comfortably off their SSI monthly checks.

I know
