Interesting.

When the "payroll taxes" from Boomers began flooding the SS "trust fund," Congress simply couldn't resist the temptation to buy votes by dramatically increasing the monthly SS stipends, adding a COLA provision and adding DISABILITY pensions, which were never a part of the concept. When they took those steps it was inevitable that the "trust fund" would go broke when Boomers started to retire.

It ain't rocket science.

He has done a 180 on most of his prior policy stances.
Much like the entire Dem party has morphed from the party of "make love, not war & don't trust the man" into let's start WWIII with Russia & everybody must do as they're told by "experts".

Interesting.

Just shows how woke he and the left have become. They are no longer the same people they were decades ago. It's all about wokeness now.

No, they aren't....things have gotten far worse for SS and Medicare....they are still the largest drivers of our debt, and still unsubstainable.

I have paid into SS since I was 17. Why shouldn’t I get that money back when I retire as I was promised?

Cult fucks, you have to cancel Joe Biden for those comments. We apply today’s standards to the past…thats what you do….so do it to Joe.
