Why I am worried about losing my Social Security check.

[kyzr]

Eliminate the earnings cap.

Problem solved.

I'd even raise the 62 age trigger for early retirement a year or two over time.

Don't laugh just yet. SS will be insolvent in 2033, which is easy to verify using Google. That means that unless SS is "fixed" starting in 2033 SS checks will only be 70% of what was promised. That 2033 date did not include any big changes like "Medicare for all" or a US financial disaster, like a "bubble" bursting and the economy crashing.

The Solvency Of Social Security And Bernie Sanders Plan For It

Many people believe that what remains in the trust fund is nothing more than a bunch of IOUs with no value. Is this true?

Google doesn't know shit.

This is what showed up, SS insolvent after 2035, only paying 75% of benefits after that.

Unless we raise the cap. And then the "problem" is solved

I don't see Mr Biden proposing to raise (eliminate) the cap, why not?

Couldn't say. He's been in office two weeks?

Ask him.

I am worried about my Social Security check and here is why:

Based on what has been happening in the United States with the recent brazen stolen election right before the eyes of the American people, some conclusions can be drawn about the future of the human race. If we retrace the steps that are leading to the destruction of democracy in the world’s greatest democracy, we can see that everything in the empirical world is constructed of an alternate reality.

I thought you folks hated socialism? That's all Social Security is, ya know. Screw Social Security, if you want money, get a job. If you want three hots and a cot, go to prison.

Over and over again. We live for what is. You live to add more and more to what is. Obama, Reich, Manuel and others have made comments on Medicare. And limiting it for the elderly. The social security tax was raised massively in the 1980's was supposed to last until the mid 2070's. But our heavily taxed system has retarded growth. so now we may have a decade before it goes negative. And increasing the taxes on it in anyway may help, but we were lied to again. 15% now.

If we retrace the steps that are leading to the destruction of democracy in the world’s greatest democracy, we can see that everything in the empirical world is constructed of an alternate reality.

Human populations are comprised of percentages whereby the cleverest one percent of the human species attain the most comfortable existence by tricking the remaining ninety nine percent into believing the one percent (government) is acting in their interest when actually that one percent is dedicated their eventual extinction. Overpopulation is the bane of all biology and this includes human biology. So, it is in the interest of the most intelligent Darwinian examples to eventually kill off the lower of the species in order to maintain a balanced and manageable population.

This is essentially what happened in the US as its leadership conspired with other distant leaders to create a global biological disease as a controlling mechanism to discipline the people for their insolence in electing a problematic antagonist of government. The great danger is that government in the US may have gotten over its skis in its corruption and heisting of that important election. If the people lose trust in a crucial election, they lose trust in all elections. When the people are deprived of the only control they have over their circumstances, desperation is the predictable outcome and that could lead to the violent overthrow of the system.

If fifty million people decide to rush the Capitol and not leave a brick standing because their elections were stolen from them, Washington will be powerless to stop it. No election in the future of the US will ever be trusted again after the government swindle that just took place and no distracting and absurd impeachment trial is going to make the American people stupid enough to swallow the scam.

You will never get what I am getting because the US government stole the pension system from you to appease the People’s Republic of China. But I could lose mine if the people finally wake up and realize that Washington has sold them out.

I think the U.S. is going down, too, and I also think that one of the worst consequences of a break-up of the country is that we'd lose Social Security. Which was a great idea, turns out.

Social security is not a give away. It is being compared to an investment. Every payday you invest part of your income into a retirement account. It is no more socialism than any 401k.

Max, three years and the dollar crashes, cryptos come with govts co-opting. Bye bye entitlements.

Ok but first, looney, give me back all the money I paid into it and then I will go away okay SNAPPER

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

I am worried about my Social Security check and here is why:

My Social Security disability was revoked, then re-awared after a years-long review. Now they have wrecked my property, attempted to murder me, and stolen from me every which way they can, in order to ensure that I will never enjoy or receive the benefit of the money I am due from having worked and paid into the system so many years before I was deemed a social undesirable and adjudicated as a mental defective in a court of law -- unfit for any kind of employment or position of responsibility or hazardous work.

Firearms Checks (NICS) | Federal Bureau of Investigation

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) conducts background checks on people who want to own a firearm or explosive, as required by law.

www.fbi.gov

There's an instant background check, and by law I'm a fucking idiot who might murder someone because I'm a danger to myself or others blah blah blah. Every time I see cops, whether they are federal, state, municipal, city, town, borough or local cops, they are seething with hate and desire to murder me because of the allegations of mental illness that were lodged against me in court.

WOW!!!!!!! Insanity 101....

 

[Ray9]

The main worry I have is that when people realize what the US government has done with this stolen election is going to impoverish them in every which way but loose. Even the labor unions are having second thoughts. The job losses are already mounting and Trump Derangement Syndrome is of little solace to citizens that will be cold next winter as fuel prices skyrocket. Food prices will soar as well as transportation costs soar.

Watching the Broadway production of "Impeach Trump" going on now is not going to pay the huge bills on the way. Government went a step too far this time and even European countries are uneasy about Biden's weakening of the economic strength of the US.

That is why I worry. I am 74 and thanks to that phony election I may have to go back to work.

Exactly.....well said and it's good to see that someone actually gets it.

Yep. SS is a regressive tax from which the ultra-wealthy Marxist dictatorship class is largely exempt.

 

[bendog]

Oh God Raymond. You’re a hoot.

LOL.

Let's not tell him we are getting his social security because we hacked his account.

direct deposit.

No......I wonder how many of you idiots think that Socialism is just free stuff.
Socialism is the lack of private ownership. Social Security is a fund we all paid into. That's not socialism. That's not even welfare. That's a contract with the feds to pay us an annuity when we retire. Problem is congress has been stealing from it for a very long time. Where do you think most of the debt came from?

Worst case, if the DC coxuckers do not "fix" social security, you will get 70% of promised benefits.

Isn't Der Fuhrer coming back to power in August? Your SS check should be able to hold off till then, right?

Social Security should only be beer money for retirement. If that is a major income in your retirement then you did it wrong.

I was a dues paying member of the Steelworker's union (pension) for 20 years and then worked another 30 in private industry that came with a pension. Corporate America along with Congress took away your pensions and affordable health insurance replacing them with a handicap parking sticker and a motorized shopping cart. I get two pensions, my 401k and social Security.

Today Americans are bent over and taking it deep and it is about to get much worse. Isn't your government wonderful?
