No, actually the promises were made by the U.S. government who told workers that they had to pay into the SS system so that when they retired they would be eligible to recieve a benefit based on what their earning were.No, you pay taxes into the Social Security bank account that is used to PAY current social security expenses. Current being the key word.
Who promised? Do you have a written contract?
The only promises made were by your own assumptions, or the ignorance of your parents lying to you about how it works.
Like I said, just try to default on SS & Medicare. Any pol that even thinks about default gets bounced.No, you pay taxes into the Social Security bank account that is used to PAY current social security expenses. Current being the key word.

Thats a lie.It's not bad enough that Corporate America has pretty much done away with pension plans with the help of their cronies in the Republican Party but now they want to fuck with SS. Niki Haley is a prime example. A multi millionaire who wants middle class workers to work until they drop, or therefore so that they collect less benefits, SS, Medicare etc.
Niki Haley & her cronies want to gut the social safety net because they don't want to pay taxes to support these programs.
The people who paid into that program all their working lives?
promises were made by the U.S. government
I don't give a shit. Just because the gubmint raids the SS trust fund that doesn't mean that they can now screw workers who paid into that fund. They did it, it's their problem to fix. And if they don't they'll pay at the polls.Nobody "paid into the program" anymore than you paid into the road pavement program.
You paid social security taxes. And those taxes have already been spent. You insist on believing a delusion that Social Security is something you pay into, as if it were a 401k, to be accessed later. That's not how it works.
I don't give a shit.

Oh really? And what "delusion" is that? The "delusion" that I paid into the trust fund for 50 fucking years & expect something in return? You seem to have a fucking problem with that.Yes, you've made that abundantly clear. You're going to stubbornly believe whatever delusion you want, so you can justify demanding whatever you want.
You want a goose that lays golden eggs for Easter, and you don't care how, you just want it now.
Your last paragragh.And this demonstrates exactly how uninformed you are.
There is this common misconception that the Social Security trust fund is like a giant piggy bank where all your social security taxes go, waiting until you retire so you can start getting pay-outs. That's not even close to what happens.
The government is required to "invest" surplus cash on hand. So when Social Security has surplus cash on hand, the government "loans" that cash to itself, to be used for other areas of government spending. The cash is then repaid into the Social Security account with a small amount of interest. This is often called "raiding" Social Security, but it's nothing more than normal governmental cash handling.
What you're still not getting through your thick skull is that Social Security taxes are not being saved for your retirement. They are being spent very soon after you pay them, for CURRENT beneficiaries.

What the fuck are you blabbing about? A goose that lays golden eggs? That supposed to mean something?Yes, you've made that abundantly clear. You're going to stubbornly believe whatever delusion you want, so you can justify demanding whatever you want.
You want a goose that lays golden eggs for Easter, and you don't care how, you just want it now.
What I do expect is what I paid for.
YOUR thick skull seems to have an issue with SS. That's YOUR problem. Personally, I don't give a fuck WHAT you think.
Thats a lie.
Nikki is the only one with a plan to fix SS. Biden and the dems did nothing to fix entitlements.
What is Nikki’s plan to fix SS?
All I’ve heard is cut benefits by raising the retirement age for younger workers grandfathering in older workers. And then index full retirement age to life expectancy. And yrs raising retirement age is a benefit cut to reduce expenses.
That does nothing to fix the SS shortfall in 10 years because it will be 20-30 years before the system sees any significant cost reductions because of the grandfathering.
A period of time after her term in office.

Dude do you realize how lame you sound trying a shut shame a porn star? It’s safe to say you’ve indulged in porn before. You’re no better than she is lolWorkers are promised a benefit after they retire. The amount is specified to everyone dumbass, even coxuckers like you.
The government needs to cough-up the promised entitlements for SS & Medicare to those who paid in.
I don't care if they need to cancel Welfare and Medicaid to do it.
I don’t understand why you think the same people who benefit from SS also didn’t pay for it as workers.Oh, well, if that's the case, I guess they're all entitled for those benefits to be pulled out Mary Poppins' bag, now aren't they?
