SSI unlike most federal programs has specific financing from employers & employees through payroll taxes.
Thune is a jack ass for not scrutinizing other parts of the budget that aren’t.
He could start with the bloated federal workforce and pensions that have materialized since 1960, but he won’t, he’d rather go after some private sector person who may or may not have sufficient retirement income.
These types of proposals by Scott and Thune will get our “teeth kicked in” eventually by the electorate.
