Excuse me, but we’re paying trillions on services for illegals and low-income “legal” immigrants. Stop those expenses first and then we can talk.

Excuse me, but as needed as the idea sounds - ending the mess of the illegals, it will not save social security. Left unchanged and even without all the illegals Social Security is a disaster waiting to be admitted and even fixing the issue of the illegals will not change that.

Excuse me, but while bandaids are good they cannot cure a large gaping wound that requires many stiches to stop the bleeding, and that bandaid will not even stave off death in the meantime. It’s a great political talking point for the moment but it is not cure all for social security. It will get a lot of traction but will not solve social security essential problem, with has little to do with the illegals. The essential problem is that there is no true “trust fund”, just IOUs from the treasury that are now starting to come due, and no president or Congress has yet admitted that Social Plan adjustments, and tax changes, will have to be made in order to refinance the IOU’s social security has to cash in to keep paying benefits.
