They can save Social Security by throwing freeloaders and foreigners who never did a thing to earn Social Security benefits off the damn recipient lists. There are too many ahos receiving Social Security and Medicare that never put one red cent into those programs. Get them the hell off of the list to receive money from those programs. It’s not rocket science! No workee, no checkee.
The fair solution would be to take the exact amount each person and their employers paid in, add interest for each year at the prevailing market rate (compounded) and pay each person back what they paid in
There are a shit ton of boomers and older who paid in a couple hundred or thousand dollars a year and getting that back monthly for decades
Then there are a lot of older gen x like myself who have paid the max contribution for multiple decades now who are unlikely to get much if any of it back by the time we hit official retirement age
It’s a completely socialistic program that needs to be phased out or made entirely voluntary
