Oh so the one program that people actually contribute to via line item you’re going to eliminate. That’s pretty bold.

So you want to stop Social Security to people that have paid into it all their lives???
Yeah.. That's good common sense there.

Oh, and that SS #? Was to never be used as an ID #.

It needs to be phased out over about a 40 year period to avoid screwing everyone that paid in. If you're 25 now and have only been paying in significantly for 3 years, your benefit wouldn't be much, but you could invest yourself for the next 40 years. If you're near retirement, you'd get what you were promised.
This is what should be done. There could be a requirement to invest in Treasuries or index funds (basically mandatory 401k/IRA). This could also be combined with an increase or elimination of the FICA cap that could help with the near term issues.

I am a few years from drawing. I paid in for over 40 years. Why the frick would I agree to forfeit the money I could invested on my own and got better returns? I want my gd money. It’s not my fault a bunch of assholes screwed it up.

make SS voluntary...... think about it, as long as you put that money into a retirement account rather than SS.

If they gave me the choice to take the money they hold and allow me to put it in my 401 I would approve. My generation will most likely not receive any social security bc it will be bankrupt. Both parties are responsible

Because they would borrow/lend against just like they did ss. Had it not been messed with it would be fine now.

Never happen. Too many people depend on it. It was never supposed to be an entitlement, rather it was bankrolled by the populous that would one day use it.
Now it’s for disability, welfare, etc. If it was just a retirement fund to keep old people out of poverty, like it was designed for, it would work.

Many of us would have to opt out and keep paying.
That’s the only way out of a Ponzi scheme.
For my kids and grand kids future I’d voluntarily do just that if they ended it. I’ll be fine and am teaching my kids to be same.
But not enough kids are being taught personal responsibility sadly.

so you don't know who stole social security funds?
it's just like you to not know, and yet run your fricking mouth

No one is willing to accept that all that they paid in has been wasted already, they’d rather kick the can down the road and make the next generation continue the scheme.

No you haven't. That means you would have earned roughly $3,230,000 over the past 30 years.
