if they had taken receipts and bought interest paying treasury bonds it would be in better condition, and if inflation was not devaluing our money causing higher payouts than what was put in it would be in better shape.
congress is the culprit, not the workers.
you say you chose your job, (which included a set retirement age and now you want to change it) while others say you were foolish enough to trust the government and depend on SS when anyone could see it was unsustainable...you chose your retirement...cut out/down welfare and ssi, bloat of federal govt.uneccesary, unconstitutional agencies etc... lets see could the pandemic, the deadly vaccine and war against ivermectin etc, been part of the plan to kill millions on SS? our govt is either very stupid or very evil...
“our govt is either very stupid or very evil...”
I’m not discounting the possibility both are true...
I had no CHOICE about SS. They just took it. If I out that money in a good investment program, I would have gotten a lot more back
