Nancy Pelosi said that Social Security is stable until 2035, and after that can still pay out 75% of promised benefits. So Democrats see no problem ahead.
Nancy Pelosi has never been in the same room with a sane thought.
That’s why everyone who is not stoned calls her Crazy Pelosi.
Current inflation rates are so falsely understated that soon a social security check will be like a penny is now, not worth the trouble of bending over to pick it up. People have long said that it is not possible to live on social security but in reality it WAS possible not so long ago. Anyone who had the foresight to make sure he was debt free on retirement and owned a home and a vehicle unencumbered could live with some dignity on nothing more than social security. A married couple who both were eligible for anywhere near the maximum and had no debts could do well enough but increasing food, energy and medical expenses are now so high that most people cannot earn enough money working to survive. Many of those who ARE working are earning less than some who are drawing social security. I don’t draw the maximum, nor does my wife but when I was a small boy whole families were living for a year on less than our combined monthly social security check, that is the truth of inflation in America.
