Sunset Social Security or wage world war. You can complain about Republicans sunsetting Social Security, Medicare, and welfare if you want, but you are in effect voting for us to go to war

Currently we are hearing a great deal of consternation from the Left about the planned sunsetting of Social Security and Medicare. To them, this signifies Republicans stealing food from the mouths of their babies. Can
you not feel the pathos? For those who are not in the grips of emotion, conservatives have been warning about these entitlements, or payments made to citizens instead of to an agency, since they began with the income tax in 1913. Our forefathers back then told people that any free program becomes an alternative to the responsible way of doing things, so people shift their...

Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) crew have revealed that 40%—nearly half—of the phone calls the Social Security Administration receives are from “fraudsters” who are changing beneficiaries’ bank information to steal benefits. “When
you want to change your bank account, you can call Social Security. We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters,” one of Musk’s prodigies stated. President Trump’s DOGE head, Elon Musk, and members of his team sat for an interview with Bret Baier, which aired on Thursday evening, to discuss the waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending that...

Tens of millions of Americans rely on Social Security for retirement security and peace of mind. And
we are always on guard to counter slanderous attempts to scare seniors. So, we were more than pleased to see others step forward to counter these election eve lies that Democrats always turn to, trying to garner votes by scaring seniors into the voting booth when all else fails. We dedicated part of our careers helping the agency fulfill its mission of supporting retirees, surviving spouses and children, and workers with disabilities. We know that Social Security touches the life of every single...

Social Security should be in the spotlight: Doing nothing is more destructive to Social Security than the passage of time

| 02/22/2023 | Breonton Smith
The mainstream media coverage concerning President Biden’s remarks about Social Security during his State of the Union address and the Republican reaction has been remarkable in its ability to miss the point. Pundits
sparred over whether the Republicans or Democrats won, when the real story is who lost in this sideshow. After all, it is the average, hard-working American who has paid into and therefore deserves Social Security. Unfortunately, everyday Americans who need to know whether or not they can rely on the trust fund received no worthy news coverage, and likely won’t for the next decade. During his speech,...

Leland Dudek was an obscure bureaucrat at the Social Security Administration who dedicated his career to stopping fraud. But
when he worked with the Department of Government Efficiency to do just that, he came close to being fired. “At 4:30pm EST, my boss called me to tell me I had been placed on administrative leave pending an Investigation,” Dudek wrote on LinkedIn. “They want to fire me for cooperating with DOGE,” he wrote in a now-deleted post obtained by The Daily Wire.

Republicans Must Take the Lead in Reforming Social Security and Medicare: The last president to reform Social Security was Ronald Reagan. Republicans need to follow his example
|

American Thinker ^
| 02/10/2023 | William Manning
The last president to reform Social Security was Ronald Reagan. He formed the Greenspan Commission to formulate solutions to problems the program faced. Reagan
then worked with speaker of the House Tip O'Neill to enact the solutions. Social Security as we know it would have ended decades ago had he not been successful.During the 2022 elections, Democrats claimed that Republicans would "end" Social Security and Medicare if elected. On January 26, President Biden proclaimed, "Here's the deal: they want to cut your Social Security and Medicare." At the State of the Union address, Biden doubled down, saying, "Republicans want Social...

social Security experts, I have a social security question and need some help with answers

Me | 7/10/2018 | GeorgiaDawg32
I'm at that age where I'm trying to determine whether or not to take social security a year early or wait until I turn 66. To
that end, I called social security and asked them what my benefit will be at 65. They told me. I informed them I'm going to keep working and make far more than the $45k I'm allowed without penalty next year. The social security benefits will go directly to the savings account. I don't need it to live on. My question was, since I'll get no check for the last 3 months of this year...

Social Security Overseer Refused to Help Weed Migrants Out of the System, Then Security Showed Up

| Apr. 13, 2025 | Jack Davis, The Western Journal
Despite official action to essentially wipe migrants out of the Social Security system, a new report said one bureaucrat refused to go along. Greg
Pearre, a manager who according to The Washington Post oversaw technology experts, was refusing to put names of migrants into what’s known as the “death master file,” which is usually used for Social Security recipients who have died. As a result, on Thursday, security guards arrived at Pearre’s office at Social Security Administration headquarters in Woodlawn, Maryland, and escorted him out. As with all Trump administration innovations, blocking access to migrants’ Social Security numbers has its...

Social Security Won't Give You Security

If you’re counting on Social Security to finance your retirement, you’re in for a big surprise—and not the good kind. Let
me give you two reasons why. One: Social Security is going broke. And, two: Even if it weren’t going broke, it couldn’t possibly cover the cost of a decent retirement. Let’s look at these two reasons in a little more detail, and then I’ll propose a solution. Social Security is going broke. When this government program was set up in 1935, the average life expectancy was 60. But you couldn’t collect your first check until you reached 65. In...

Social Security benefits can be claimed at any point after a recipient turns age 62, and most Americans take their Social Security as soon as they can. Claiming
benefits early can be smart, but it can pay off to wait. If you're deciding when to start receiving Social Security, here's what to consider. Estimate your expenses Retirement usually means a big drop in income, and if you don't have a solid grasp on what your spending is going to look like in retirement, then you won't be able to make the best decision on when to claim.

Key Points Taking Social Security benefits before you reach full retirement age may not be in your best interest. We’ll

The strategies for maximizing benefits can get complex—talk to your financial planner or tax professional if needed. When you start receiving full Social Security retirement benefits is a key question for your retirement plans.

Between Chris Christie and Senator Warren (D-MA), Social Security reform is getting more media coverage today than at any time in the past 30 years. From
hearing the details, you might conclude they are talking about different government programs. They aren’t. These people are part of the changing debate that is taking shape in Washington. For decades, any problem that developed within Social Security was fixed by shifting the cost to future workers. Today that isn’t possible. What is the problem? Social Security contains a massive imbalance between resources and promises. The Trustees of the Social Security’s Trust Funds estimate...

$100,000 in Social Security benefits is too much

| April 1, 2026 | By Allison Schrager
When someone says a retiree is "living off Social Security," it's not usually $100,000 a year. But
some U.S. retired couples will be receiving that much in a few years - and a proposal to cap their benefit at that amount has started a painful and much-needed conversation about who should get government benefits and how much.

Social Security is running out of money. You
may not believe that, but it's a fact. That FICA money taken from your paycheck was not saved for you in a "trust fund." Politicians misled us. They spent every penny the moment it came in. This started as soon as they created Social Security. They assumed that FICA payments from young workers would cover the cost of sending checks to older people. After all, at the time, most Americans died before they reached 65. Now, however, people keep living longer. There just aren't enough young people to cover my Social Security...

What if the American people invested $100,000 in every newborn, purchasing a 65-year government bond on their behalf that guaranteed a 3.5% annual return? Every
American, irrespective of background, would contribute to and benefit from the fund equally, eliminating disparities from unequal lifetime earnings. Once the individual returns the initial investment to the American people, the individual should no longer owe Social Security taxes.

Transitioning Social Security: Lessons from the GI BillThe GI Bill provides a valuable example of how a large government benefit program can be restructured over time without breaking commitments to those already enrolled. When
the GI Bill was updated, existing veterans retained their full benefits, while new recruits gradually began contributing toward their education benefits. This phased approach balanced fairness with fiscal responsibility.Why Change Social Security?Social Security, as it currently stands, faces significant financial challenges. With an aging population, longer life expectancies, and a shrinking ratio of workers to beneficiaries, the system’s trust fund is projected to be depleted within...
