Do you really believe this? God, you're dumb. People have been talking about SS insolvency for decades and it has never happened. And it's solvent now.

It's an entitlement, not a scheme.

You're stuck in 2019. Do some research into Social Security now, you'll be surprised.
That many people died?


Yes.

I just searched on their website and the closest field office is Reston. So convenient for all of NOVA.

Sorry...messed up the code to post the summary:
Social Security leadership is now considering a proposal to end telephone service for claims processing and direct-deposit bank account transactions, instead directing elderly and disabled people to the internet and in-person field offices, according to one of the people and the records.


Our 95 year old neighbor doesn't have a computer. She doesn't even have a smart phone. She'd have to physically go to the SS office? This is just cruel.


They can't do this. Too many elderly don't use the internet and can't get to an office. Plus they're supposedly closing Social Security offices.

Not selling


More like Republicans stealing taxpayer money.

Social Security currently has over $2.7 trillion in assets but if you listen to Republicans they'd tell you it's broke and needs to end. Why are they telling you it's broke and needs to end? Because they want to steal it on behalf of their billionaire handlers.

CBS News - December 18, 2019

snippet...

""Jeanne was, by all appearances, a very nice person. Very friendly. We've talked to her quite a bit and took her to doctor appointments," said Evan Kline, a resident of the retirement community. "The story that — at least she was putting out — was her husband walked out on her."

"I think he died and she kept him so she didn't have to turn in his Social Security," said James Kite, another resident in the retirement community.

"Based on what I know now, I'd have to say it was probably the plan, yeah, for her to keep the money because it was her only source of income," Kline said

Police investigators believe Souron-Mathers received at least $177,000 of government payouts after her husband's death."

What’s the point of this post? To provide that one example of some crazy person murdering their husband and receiving fraudulent payments means we need to throw out the whole thing?


The point is Elon is NOT coming for social security. Audits WILL take place and proper payments will be restored. Fraud WILL be stopped. So stop with the hyperbole.


Actually, Musk now implies he IS coming after social security. Keep up.

Fox News is already priming the pump to get their viewers on board with all of the cuts. It is sickening the propaganda that the right wing news outlets put out on a daily basis and people are falling for it

I feel sorry for anyone who actually believes Elon and his merry band of incompetent DOGE idiots who can't even figure out how to properly run a SQL query on the SS database.

Those of you in this thread who believe it are pure cringe.
