Uh, you realize congress is the one that passes bills, right?
We also wasted more than 100B in federal funding on NYC alone in 2023, but just ignore that shite.

Thanks for this. Made me realize that you are either too stupid or brainwashed to continue arguing with.

Maybe someone should look into how many foreigners are getting SS payments. Many without having paid the first cent in.

True or false-
The government confiscated our “Social Security” tax dollars- in my case for 50 years- and the nominal return would be multiples of 120-200% if the government hadn’t been the entity controlling the money.
I know this one. It's true.

You were lied to and stolen from, therefore your children deserve the same fate so that you can receive your welfare entitlement.

Whatever it takes to justify your continued support for a welfare entitlement that all of you “seem” to not actually need.

True, which is why it should be eliminated.

Don't bother arguing with Scruffy, he ain't worth your time.
Hopefully he knows that: "Stupid people shouldn't breed."

quote:A 20% "cut" would render SS viable for >75 years. For those on SS, COLA could be suspended for 8-10yrs to get there. No cuts required. So that outcome would actually be great if you're a SS advocate. Aside from doing away with the program, or privatizing it, the 22% cut might well be the best outcome for everyone except Uncle Sam.
Will there be social unrest when monthly social security checks are cut by 22% in 2032?
We've maintained a gargantuan "SSTF" for the past three decades as a borrowing offset. Uncle Sam badly needs the offset. So the odds of Congress not moving to a tax increase to "save" SS "for the public good" are nearly nonexistent. Look for Congress to do the "right thing" and bump SS payroll taxes by ~25% ... you know ... to help the commonman.

He keeps saying entitlement program. I paid into it, so it's not an entitlement for me. I also was given no choice but to pay into it.

If you were born after about 1973ish and you are planning on needing SS in retirement you are a god damn idiot.
Max those 401k's, HSA's, and Roth accounts. Planning on collecting a SS check is absolute and total failure. When has our government done anything right? They can't even deliver a piece of mail to me in an efficient or effective manner yet some of you are trusting them with your financial future?

They will 100% increase taxes to do this.

The facts are that most of the time. SS beneficiaries will receive more money than was put into the system. The only way this is not true is if you die before you are able to collect and have no one claim your spousal or child benefits.
The crazy thing about SS is that if you fire your rocket into a fertile 35 year old MILF that you married at 70 years old. Your child and the spouse are eligible for your survival benefits after only one year of marriage.

BS. Arrest the fraud and illegal immigrants that paid a dime into the system.
Why don’t we screw the Democrats first while solving their created problem?
Hell they couldn’t do healthcare insurance right and had to increase their failure by launching an Obamacare website, using the same firm that got fired by Canada.
Biggest bunch of fups in history. Look at their stupid voters.

quote:Entitlement is a floating signifier of sorts. In our present day lexicon, "entitlement" carries connotations in some circumstances of welfare, or government giveaways. However, in reality, an entitlement is simply a right to receive a benefit.
Seems like an entitlement.
If you take out a loan, the repayments are technically the lender's "entitlement."
Social Security entails that identical equation.
Social Security contributors/payers are lenders.
The government is the borrower.
Every penny contributed is converted into a US debt obligation.
In accordance with the 14th amendment, US debt shall not be questioned. In that sense, every contributor in good standing with the US government is entitled, or has a right to a return on the government's debt obligation.
So although Social Security is far from a "benefit" (in fact, it is a rip off in every sense of the word), it is technically an entitlement.

While technically correct this argument is stupid. There isn't a 70 year dude anywhere pulling a 35 year old MILF if he isn't already loaded with money. The numbers on this happening have to be lower than 1.0% of the population.
