I said that there have been various expansions over the years since the last time major reforms had been enacted. That list has some of them- it is not comprehensive and there was also quite a lot under Obama. All of those expansions and changes have budgetary impact to the trust funds.Okay. And how exactly does this back up your narrative?
And "recycle" your toilet water. Drink that shit, bitches! NASA said so.Work till you die.....You will own nothing and be happy.....Eat bugs and drink soy milk.....The beatings will continue till morale improves.
All typical dem mantras.
Do you have anything specific or verifiable? This is all just vague narrative. Nothing you’ve said is specific enough to check for accuracy.I said that there have been various expansions over the years since the last time major reforms had been enacted.

So that is all, I am finished with you. Carry on.
Thank you. After making your comments, you learned that the SS system in Sweden is not the magnificent, affordable plan you were led to believe.My obligation to do what? If you don’t want to believe Sweden exist that’s on you. Nothing I can do will change your mind
Those amendments have a whole bunch of expansions that make adjustments to the number of people that are eligible for a particular benefit, and/or increase benefits. Many of them are done after 1983, which was the last time the taxes and the retirement age were modified.Do you have anything specific or verifiable? This is all just vague narrative. Nothing you’ve said is specific enough to check for accuracy.
Just give me something specific.
You mentioned spouse and survivor benefits. Those were present for a very long time. You mentioned SSI which was passed in a highly bipartisan fashion.
Im looking for literally any examples that would support your narrative. So far, just vague hand waving.
Boomers were the most pampered generation in historyBoomers have lived their entire lives being handed advantages and providing none to the rest of us.
If you believe that, then you are a fool.
The Social Security program matured in the 1960s, when Americans were consistently having fewer children, living longer, and earning wages at a slower rate than the rate of growth in the number of retirees. As these trends have continued, today there are just 2.9 workers per retiree—and this amount is expected to drop to two workers per retiree by 2030.

With the Social Security Trust Fund exhausting faster than expected, another obstacle to the sustainability of the program is rearing its head: Social Security benefits rest on fewer and fewer taxpayers.

Nonsense. More people, more production. More economic output.
That’s bullshit. Have another recession under repunants….10 of the last 11. The covid fking crisis was so mismanaged, thousands died needlessly just from stupidity from stupid repugnant idiocy. They cost us billions fixing up their climate change denial in places like Texas and Florida. Then hide thier ignorance by accepting federal disaster clean up funds. Red states are a bastion of ignorance and economic stagnation.Democrats should dig graves due to their penchant for digging us into tax holes.

Myth math. The fact is wages are far lower relative to the past, plus off-shoring jobs that paid more than minimum wage have drastically reduced SS revenues, and then there is the spending of general fund revenues on other things than SS, which have yet to be paid back, since Eisenhower first started using SS revenues to build the interstate highway system and other raids on its revenues have snow balled since then. And, only idiots would trust Wall Street with the funds. Lester Madoff is the norm for Wall Street operators; his real crime was fleecing some rich lawyers, the only reason he went to prison; if he had stuck to just fleecing proles, they would have erected a giant statue in his honor in the middle of Wall Street.
Dude, get a hobby.

I was asking for one example.Jesus Christ I am not going to hunt down every fucking change to the system for you.

Amazing….no Republican has deduced spending or reduced deficits over previous president. Every democratic president has. 10 of last 11 recessions started under gop,admintrations. Trumps economy folded like a tent in a heavy wind.Democrats should dig graves due to their penchant for digging us into tax holes.
For patients covered by both which duplicated services….Under Obama there was a big shift in Medicare Part D dollars to the ACA.
Because changing the system now is political suicide. So you are screwed.Why do boomers need “a warning”? They should have seen this coming. After all, they knew this was a problem for decades and did nothing.
Why do we have to pay for Boomer’s failures?
werent survivor benefits and spouse benefits always a part of social security?
SSI was passed in 1972. Proudly signed by Nixon and passed by large bipartisan votes.
