Inflationary spending loop to accelerate the collapse of Social Security. All feels by design.
It’s like fighting a fire with gasoline....................
I laugh heartily at all mentions of Social Security Collapse. We just added $25 trillion to the national debt in 25 years time. A third of that would have covered the Social Security shortfall for over a generation, if not 2 generations.
It is not about reality. They don’t care. They WANT a crash.
Wonderful. 8.6% will buy two tanks of gas each month for us. When Congress passed the stuff that put SS in trouble, they should have increased the rate to 8% from 7.65%.
There are people who count on SS, like I do. Events leave you down and out. I thank you people still working to make this possible, but govt forced us into this, they must follow through on the promises.
How about means test SS recipients? Disallow disability without a doctors examination board, with advocates for pro and con? No SS for immigrants. No EITC for non citizens?
Leave the SS alone for the elderly and health compromised, and give them just a bit more on a regular basis.
