Well, look at the bright side... They could announce tomorrow that SS is bankrupt and they're ditching the program altogether... SS was set up as supplement to your other income. It was never intended as an only source of retirement income... Dan SS is nowhere near being broke. We spend trillions of dollars on garbage. DOGE will be able to get the two trillion dollars back that was stolen to fund all the BS programs.

It just needs to be moved out of the WOKE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA and back into what makes us a functional society.

You are delusional if you think Trump cares about saving SS, Medicare, Medicaid. He will just let them go broke and be done with them. Not a friend of the common man.

Medicaid and Welfare are already (always) broke because the people that get it for the most part never worked and didn't pay into it. That money for them comes from the working class that also pay into Social Security. Seems funny to me that those first two programs ALWAYS have funding but Social Security is going broke.

I was declined for SSI. Sorry scumbag lawyer praying on vets really bent me over.
Every single penny I paid in. The government gets to keep it. So for those getting SSI, enjoy my free contribution.

The problem with the SS inflation adjustment is the inflation factor used. It more accurately reflects inflation for younger working folks not the average oldster.

Try Allsup.com no not Allsups the burrito gas station No more appeals. I just wanted my money back. All those years and years of paycheck to paycheck. Supporting my wife and children. Seeing the deduction on my pay slip and wishing I could have kept it. Then the big greasy middle finger of the universe just had to jump in. Gone. All gone. I could have burned the money for the good it did me.

MERCY - not receiving what you deserve GRACE - receiving what you don't deserve Preach the gospel at all times; USE WORDS IF NECESSARY "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness." I'd rather walk with God with no questions answered than to walk thru life without Him and know the answers
