Did Mike-McDickhead just double down on being stupid? Rhetorical question: yes, he did!
What you posted above about was that American retirees want MORE SS. Not less.
Here are real public opinion polls about SS. Americans love it, dickhead.
SS Public Opinion
Disagree. You can be for the US being great & not be lockstep with whatever Trump says & wants. To imply there's no room for disagreement with Trump & having TDS is a rejection of freedom.
If we just went back to 2019 spending and FROZE it there, we'd be well on our way to paying off the national debt.
My question is how you would pay the current recipients their due SS if you were to go to a new system such as you suggest. If not mistaken does not the current money taken in pay for those now on it? Also, would they take the money you have already paid in (those not retired yet) and give it back to you to invest it in the new system so that you have not lost that money? A new system which I agree we need would take some serious planning so as to not disrupt current payments. Overhauling the current system would take a lot of work and some genius planning.
Oh, and about taxes, yeah, we need them, but not as much as we are paying in imo. Also, I am not opposed to letting those who do not work (capable people) starve (not the elderly of course) to the point to which maybe they will contribute by actually getting a job.
It's not really possible. SS was doomed to fail unless our population grew exponentially.
Well that should kick of WWIII pretty quick. If this is true then it's time to invoke the 25th amendment or anything to get rid of these assholes before they destroy the entire world.
WTF are they trying so hard to protect over there anyway? And don't tell me this is some altruistic move by the US government to help those who are being attacked and oppressed. The US government is one of the most honorless groups on this spinning rock. They only intervene in things that directly benefit them.
NYT article about this.

So, Communists, giving Communists American Weapons... Nothing to see here.
For going after Trump in lawfare....and for ruining the career of Bob McDonnell in Virginia as well.
False.
It is not what was implied. It is just simply expressing basic insight into MAGA. 100% MAGA does not mean you agree totally with everything he does, it simply means you agree with the concept and general idea of MAGA. Once again, it is just as simple as that. TDS keeps you and some others from getting on board simply because of a caustic kind of hate.
I'll take Klinger wearing a white wedding dress before Labor Day >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this actual mental illness worship any day
What's not possible? Keeping the current payments and starting a new system? If so, I can agree to a point unless you can divert some of the money we currently spend on pork, the Ukraine laundering scheme, green new deal, and a myriad of other programs we could either dissolve or lesson the cost of.
I can agree with you to this end. The fraud comes from knowing what you put in is not what comes out. Key word, "knowing". I have been thankful to not have been near the end product(s), maybe I should have been nearer the end products as I know in my heart what I'd do. The issue that will get the scum in the end is that their SME's love talking and explaining what they were able to accomplish. That will be what costs them in the end...
Yes Sir,
The thing with SS is, it has never been a lock box. SS has been robbed, pilfered, and luted as desired. Never has been a "lockbox" like Al Gore himself stated and W used too in the same debate thinking it sounded smart. Instead of telling Gore that was as stupid remark. SS has never been a lock box.
Take away ALL the stolen wealth of this country and there is more than enough to take care of our citizens who earned the right of SS by paying into it.
And the money taken back as well.... Take back the ill-gotten gains...
The math doesn't seem feasible or fair. I only see two scenarios to even coming close to making this work for the next 50 years.
Scenario 1:
- Boomers get their full SS benefits
- Generations that come afterwards fund boomers, but their payout structure is significantly less
- Eliminate ceiling for paying into SS
- Immediately switch Boomers to means tested SS benefits (e.g., you only get full benefits if you need it and if you're worth millions you get nothing).
- Generations that come afterwards are subject to same rules as boomers.
- Eliminate ceiling for paying into SS
in the second scenario, boomers would never go for it.
Boomers have significantly more wealth than those who are younger. Kind of effed up that the poor young are funding the rich old.
SS can only be solvent if you generate additional SS funds or reduce the payouts (or both). How was that weird?
Had SS not been robbed, raped, and pillaged. This conversation would not be happening at all which is the weird part. Focus on the robbing, raping, and pillaging...
Can you give me an example of how SS has been robbed, raped and pillaged? Be specific.
And, F Gowdy, too. They don’t deserve one ounce of empathy. Biden’s bs has directly led to countless other fathers losing sons/daughters. The Afghanistan withdrawal & the border debacle, alone, have led to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths & destroyed families. He won’t even acknowledge the victims, either. Much less worry about those parents missing their children.
F him! He DESERVES to be burdened by that worry & I pray to God that it happens & it tortures him every waking second. Actually, I hope he’s also punished to the fullest extent of the law & that he isn’t even around to worry about that lost pos son. And, he’s only the start. This entire administration needs to be dealt with, accordingly. Everything they’ve done has been intentional. And, they should pay for that. Dearly.

The SS ponzi scheme mayh doesnt work out in the end. Esp when new benefits are added. There is an easier answer but i dont want to type it all into the phone. In (very) short, let ppl opt out. Their employer continues to pay the match and the employee keeps his 6.2%. That is a 6.2% raise right now. But do not come back 10 yrs from now expecting govt funded retirement.
Here is an idea ... what about Byron Donald for Senate to replace Rubio.
And Ben Shapiro or Cahrlie Kirk for press secretary. They would never do it, but it would be interesting to watch!
