Finally, at 67 years old....I be one of em.
Another reason to loathe the Democrat elite.
poor young people....getting screwed again I'm sure...
I don’t even consider that SS will be an option for me if the day comes in the future for me to retire. I am just saving and investing with the idea that these are the only funds that will be available for me. I don’t expect to get anything from SS if I someday make it to retirement age - though I certainly pay into it. I just consider it another tax, from which I will likely never get anything back.
Collecting about $32K/year SS plus still working full time. Prolly do this a couple years before I quit working.
So, how many illegal immigrants are getting our SS? And how many people faking illness are on disability?
It can't possibly last. Not sustainable.
Omugabe did a great job of destruction.

When I applied, I discovered that my youngest son will also draw a dependent benefit until he graduates from high school in 2 1/2 years.
Don't gripe at me, just following the rules, and I paid in for 40 years.
They ramped up the minimum for full benefits from age 65 to age 67 gradually, over a number of years. They should continue that ramp at the same rate to go up from age 67 to age 70, 71, or even 72 for full benefits. It’s a simple question of math - too many people to support at the 67 age.
As for social security disability, they should (1) reevaluate annually, and (2) check for fraud aggressively. Those of us who work despite challenges should not be supporting democrats who golf but claim a disability.
I wish Trump would adjust the system, i just turned 61 a couple weeks ago and would really want to semi retire but what i would get just won’t pay the bills.
My wife and I took SS at 62 It us OUR money. We had NO choice in the matter and we want it back!The govt gives SS to illegals who don’t do a damn thing.They are spending OUR money
Guilty as charged. And loving it.
Retirement is not Biblical.. but it sure does create a class of entitlement and a great government ponzi scheme so we have lots more chuck n Nancy spending..
Even a few of the most Constitution loving folks I know line up at the govt trough. Complaining the whole time.n talk about earning it and so on. I know I won’t be able to physically work full time, but I will work til I die.
O and after they retire and gain a bunch of weight they want more healthcare with their mai tais.
I suggest that it’s time for an audit of recipients to weed out those who don’t legally qualify for benefits. I believe we would be surprised at how much fraud has impacted the system.
"The added cost of employing an individual is 12.4 percent, plus some administrative overhead. Splitting hairs about who's paying which half is FDR's great deception."
