Social Security is a nation’s poison pill.
It guarantees that the nation will collapse financially—all the rest is timing and details.
Once taken there is no antidote.
The symptoms can be tinkered with at great political cost, but at the end of the day the nation disappears in the dust-bin of history.
The issue is not “when will social security be insolvent”—that is irrelevant.
The issue is when the US .gov becomes unable to generate enough cash (that will be accepted by creditors) to pay its bills.
That collapse may be a few years off or a few decades off—but it is coming as certainly as the sun rises in the morning.
No currency lasts forever.
No nation lasts forever.
That is the ultimate flaw in “social security”—and tinkering won’t fix it.
BS.
Look at how fast they come up with money for stupid wars.
The iraq war cost ~ 2 Trillion dollars.
100 Billion+ for Ukraine so far.
The current Social Security Trust fund is ~ 3 Trillion.
They have plenty of money for things they are interested in but never any money for things that benefit the people.
Remember when Nancy said we couldn’t afford 6 billion to complete the wall.
I rest my case.
