And also killing a few more small businesses. A forest is cut down a few trees at a time.

Wow, $2400 more per year. ha ha ha what a joke!

[entropy12]

$40,000,000,000 has already been approved and sent to most corrupt country in Europe, Ukraine.

Hunter Biden made tons of money in Ukraine, with the big guy getting 10% cut.

$2400 per year is a lot to someone living solely on cash from Social Security in addition to the 6 to 8 subsidies they get from the government (other taxpayers) due to being low income. It’s just enough to encourage them to vote again for the Democrats and may even be a campaign issue in November.

Why is social Security running out of money but not welfare or Medicaid?

[Boomer]

Obvious ploy to buy votes. Never happen.

They will raise SS benefits the $200.00 a month THEN raise Medicare to take away from you that is how they roll!!!

Hey, it worked last year.

[faucetman]

They will not CUT current recipients. They wouldn’t DARE!

[SuperLuminal]

Well goes dry in 2035???

Now I’m worried...
This means that I will not be getting a Soc Sec payment when I’m 101...

Means my retirement will have lasted only 49-years...
Guess I’ll have to find a job in 2035...

Hold on there!
Forgot about the second pass of Apophis in 2036...
With luck the commies can stretch out the Soc Sec pmts until Apophis arrives...
After that it won’t matter anyways...

Comes out of general fund.

How much could be saved by taking away the SS disability payments to all? No money from SS for illegals or children or families. Institute means testing, if you make over say $50,000 per year in a retirement, you cannot get SS. Husbands and wifes with a retirement in excess of $60,000 between them, neither one can get SS. Now get rid of SS for the future, by allowing people to invest their own retirement like Chile or is it Peru did or used to do.

When someone reaches a certain age, let them decide if they want to be a part of the system, or remove themselves and make their own way.

Those who fall between the cracks, can get welfare. Immigrants get nothing unless they work and join the system.

There, that system is fairer than any other way. In that manner we get rid of SS forever over time.

[Glad2bnuts]

I would like an accounting of how much is wasted on people who NEVER WORKED.

[stevem]

Aren't these two clowns among the DC denizens who made themselves super-rich? Each one of them can give me, what, $26,800 from their own booty. They can tell me, "Thank you," with the delivery of their checks.

I won't hold my breath.

"They will raise SS benefits the $200.00 a month

Two hundred dollars a month? How many gallons of gas will that buy next week? Can we keep the change?
