They need to rewrite the disability laws to qualify for SSDI. That’s what is killing SS faster than anything, not the retirees. If you have ADD or overweight you can qualify for SSDI benefits.

How about raising the SS "Trust Fund" interest rate to competitive standards rather than a rate below that of inflation to defraud people.

You know you can retire before the qage of SS, right?

I'm 77 and still paying into it since I still work.
SS will be reformed when the interest rate paid to the "Trust Fund" is equivalent to other sources of borrowing. It will never be fixed as long as it pays about 2% interest that is half the rate of inflation. And now with an inflation rate of 7%, it is even more of a "real steal" for government to pay around 2% interest!
Politicians who perpetuated this scam and skimming program should be in prison.

They really are trying to work people to death.

If you're waiting on a certain age to retire because of SS, something is seriously out of whack.

So, wealth redistribution... Unless we're going to have a social security flat tax, which I'm also in favor of.

The life expectancy was 2 years less than withdrawal age when it was enacted. It was designed as an insurance policy if you outlived your retirement savings…… Future politicians fricked the program up.

This should not be on anyone's radar. We have more important things to deal with right now.

Cassidy can kiss my arse.
Basically, they are saying "we are about to steal money"
And that's the friggin bottom line!

It's robbery! and the RINOs LOVE it as much as anybody.

There will not be a single person on this forum who receives more money or benefits as a result of these changes.

Things would be different if senators were forced to take social security instead of their sweet arse pensions.
