Is the House GOP really going to push for raising the Social Security age, so seniors will be too old to get hired - but not old enough to collect Social Security?
Will this congressman reduce his federal government pension?
Now, it's obvious that they're The Backstab Party.
They like to do it. I guess they can’t make money from old people like they can with their contrived wars.
It has been shocking how many retired people I know have gone back to work, driven by boredom, inflation and just the desire to be more empowered.
I can retire in August but I have no idea what I would do.
He’s been drinking moonshine
NOONE has ever said that to him
IF you want to work longer you just do. No one is stopping you
I know quite a few people who retire, collect SS, and then go out and get another job so they have 2 incomes.
I do not want to work longer, but I am going to have to work because they’ve screwed up the economy so badly.
And if things actually crash...there’s a lot of Boomers who are going to be quite angry at losing everything.
Who is ‘attacking social security’???
You are absolutely correct.
Social Security is a classic Ponzi scheme:
Spending political capital to “fix” a Ponzi scheme is so stupid that only a Republican could want to do it.
There’s no where for them to work other than retail which isn’t a robust job market these days.
The job you can get at 65 is as door greeter at Walmart. No one wants to hire a 65 year old engineer
Plenty of people work past retirement age. They actually liked their jobs
they have to work longer to pay off the usery debt they stacked up
"Social Security" barely pays back enough for food and utilities. Even if you had a free place to live you need extra income
Social security is no where near enough to live on
besides , Zelenski needs the money
This proposal will result in only one thing: It will push more folks to the Democrat Party.
One could argue the merits of the proposal all day long. But folks pay into Social Security for their entire working careers. They expect the promise to be kept.
Rick Allen, proving the Democrat party case against Republicans; they do want to cut social security.
SS will collapse in about 10 years unless something is done so there is that.
You can apply for and collect SS retirement benefits at age 62 and you can still work a W2 wage job to the extent of being overpaid by the SSA. However, there rules and guidelines to be followed. By FRA (Full Retirement Age) you can work all you want to without being overpaid. Look it up.
there’s only so many bigbox customer greeter positions...
I’ve always wondered why, given the fact that people are living healthier, longer, that the gov’t didn’t raise the age for SS. Seems like a year every 10 years would have been about right.
