Stop the give away benefits to those who haven’t contributed or paid in for them.

Instead, let’s get rid of these programs completely. The money previously paid in was stolen by government anyway.

What’s unsustainable is the outrageous spending on absolute frivolities the federal government engages in.

My neighbor's household of three people each receiving social security payments
of eight hundred a month. never worked a day in their lives.
The son calls his monthly payment "payday".

Thanks to screwball Republicans pushing for cuts, they will be blamed for Democrat cuts. I give you the Stoopid Party.

So long as we are funneling billions of dollars to Ukraine and billions more in welfare to deadbeats who never worked an honest day in their lives, retirees should keep on getting the Social Security checks that they worked their entire lives for.
Make them tax-free as well.

Social Security and Medicare are on an “unsustainable course” and will run out of funds by ...[pick a year]
Pols have been using this ploy for decades. They holler that SS/M are about to go broke. Then, just in time, Congress passes another bill to 'sustain' SS/M for a few more years.
Same song, same verse, different year.

The much-accelerated end of the Petrol Dollar and Reserve Currency (thanks to the Neocon War in Ukraine) will FORCE the US to have to PAY THEIR WAY as far as the government is concerned.
This means HUGE CUTS to entitlements...or a total societal collapse...and then HUGE CUTS to entitlements.
The Petrol Dollar and Reserve Currency status of the dollar was going to end anyway due to our run-away spending - but our silly actions against Russia has now accelerated the timeline to years, when it had been DECADES.

Countered by the millions that worked hard all their lives and paid into the system.
You know, the ones who deserve to get back every single penny they paid in.

Article states....
“There is no saving these programs without massive changes”.....
Quit sending tax dollars overseas would fix it fast.

It’s going to be hard to convince people to take a cut when we send millions of dollars to foreign countries around the globe.

Give up your SS pension because biden needs to send that money to the slav nexus for their pensions as he stated.
