While I do agree that as much manufacturing, as possible, should and could be moved back to the US, no matter how much comes back, as long as Congress can get their greedy hands in the cookie jar and we have a never ending caravan of 3rd world, UGLY, coming over the border to get benefits, it won’t matter.
The more jobs that come back, the more money is being made. The stronger our economy the more immigrants are going to come here and leech off of those funds.
I’ve read before that if Congress, set aside the funds like they were supposed to and didn’t steal from it and only those eligible for it, got their money, there’d be no issues with any of it. But, it’s being used and abused and handed out to illegals, like it’s candy.
What you have always heard is wrong. Social Security has always been a pay as you go program. It is an intergenerational transfer, a welfare program camouflaged as “social insurance.” As a retirement plan, it has a lousy ROI. It is a money losing proposition for many. And any additional tax increases to keep the Ponzi scheme alive will only make those problems worse. Some future generation will cut bait. The Democrats default option will be to means test benefits while applying the Social Security tax to all income.
