So in spite of the promise not to cut SS benefits

[Rambunctious]

I did, multiple times. You are assuming and when you assume you make an ass out of you and me.

No you didn't... its a yes or no question....

 

[Zincwarrior]

They do not....

You definitely should build a house near one.

I care about oil workers. I care about Social Security.

They are safer than trains, but they spill hydrocarbons below the surface.

I don't really care about Federal workers. I care about Social Security.

If you care about SS you better get on board with DOGE... they are trying to save it by finding and cutting WASTE and FRAUD just like Obama and Biden and Clinton promised but never did.... Gore had Musk's job before Musk... he did a lousy job of it though...

 

[Crepitus]

By math.

Nah, republicans can't do math.

Nope. They are cutting your benefits. Just like they promised they wouldn't.

 

[Crepitus]

You better pray that they fix SS now because, we are fucked if they dont. If we do nothing, you can kiss your SS benefits goodbye. It will become insolvent in a few more years.

Remove the billionaire cap.

Problem solved

 

[Crepitus]

Were you beaten by a billionaire at point in your life?

All of us were, metaphorically speaking.

 

[Godboy]

Remove the billionaire cap.

Problem solved

Why would that billionaire remain a citizen of the US if youre going to do that to him? They will just move their billions to another country that wont do that. You cant say they are greedy bastards and then also deny that they would never go to a place where they will get WAY less taxes. Thats simply what will happen, especially over a long period of time. Youll turn the US into Detroit.

 

[Mac-7]

Remove the billionaire cap.

Problem solved

Social Security and Medicare are not welfare programs

And they are not needed by billionairs

They are for workers to be paid for by workers

Speak for yourself. I've been treated very well by billionaires

Most of their money is already somewhere else anyway.

Most of their money is already somewhere else anyway.

If that was true, you wouldnt have their billions to tax right now.

 

[Rambunctious]

Nope. They are cutting your benefits. Just like they promised they wouldn't.

This extension has been in the works longer than Trump was in office... it has nothing to do with DOGE... I just checked and my date for full payment was extended under Obama and once under Bush.... as people live and work longer its going to happen again stop making yourself look unhinged over it.....

It's wrong and immoral to want people to work longer. What's the point in that?

There’s very little fraud and even less waste in social security. To save it, it’s going to take actual structural changes that none of these dopes have the balls to talk about.

 

[initforme]

If we are going to adjust social security then wage increases for all is appropriate

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Sounds good.
You go first.

They have produced a budget that cuts SS benefits.

And yes, raising the retirement age is a cut to your benefits.
