Quoted: It's far worse than this article suggests . We are currently directly paying the retirement payments for people in Ukraine while our own Social Security has a decade until it can't meet its obligations. They literally care more about retired people in Ukraine than they do you. View Quote We are giving financial aid to Ukraine for all residents there in addition to giving arms for defense. The fact that someone receiving financial aid is retired is irrelevant |

Of course…
Guess when I am first eligible for the SS I’ve been paying into since 1989? Yep, 2035. |

@C3H5N3O9 Someone posted that in another thread. Scary how stupid some people are in government. |

I found the problem!
The overwhelming majority of people on Supplemental Security Income are not over the age of 65-years old and about half as many people under the age of 18 are on SSI as are above 65 on it. The proportion of SSI recipients aged 65 or older declined from 61% in January 1974 to 29% in December 2020. The overall long-term growth of the SSI program occurred because of an increase in the number of disabled recipients, most of whom are under age 65. |
|
"Social security" and "supplemental security income" come from different pools of money and have no effect on each other.
You all just enjoy twisting each other's panties and then yelling about it. |
|
Yet we are not running out of welfare, section 8 housing, food stamps or forgien aid for terrorist groups . Nor that ability to hire 53,000 new government employees a month.

By 2035, it will just be Monopoly money anyhow. I buy $100 of gold every day due to this insanity.

Boomers are gonna vote to sieze the 401k of younger generations next so it can be funneled into to SSA.
Because Nana doesn't have enough wealth from that house she bought at $22k that's now valued at $3M. She needs it to buy more beanie boos and China dishware for her grandkids |

I’m not worried, there are trillions available for other things, neither party will let it fail or reduce it.

Here is how to make it fair and equitable:
You get out the same percentage OF WHAT YOU PAY IN as anyone else WHO PARTICIPATES. Oh, wait. Not everyone is productive. |
|
I took SS as soon as I could.
"Be smart, wait until you are 70". Nope, that is when the crisis hits and that assumes I make it to 70 (which I hope to but you never know). The Government is run like a Mafia Bust-out. A bunch of criminals took over and are racking up the debt as fast as they can before it all collapses. |

Quoted: INB4 "I haven't been able to get an erection since the Reagan administration, but by Jove I want every penny I paid into social security back plus 20% interest! I would have soundly invested that money into Worldcom, Adelphia, and Enron." View Quote |

I’ll turn 60 a couple years after it runs out.

1. Rename Social Security, Now call it Ukraine 2. Vote to send 10 Billion in aid to Ukraine 3. Profit for all |
|
Whether or not you agree with social security, you almost never see government programs shrink, because that endangers the jobs of those who administer the program.

Quoted: 2035 is including SSDI. 2033 for the boomers. Best part is that assumes current employment levels. Good thing no body is laying off right now. View Quote I was threatened with a good time on March 20, 2020 after being written up by PITA ( Pain In The Ass) the safety lady for having facial hair and wearing a mask @ GM Wood that woodn't seal working a $13 / hr job stacking boards. I started SS 6 months later and now collect a pension from the Warren Pattern & Model Makers of Warren and Vicinity. I told the temp service I knew how to work with wood, so I stacked boards Saw my old boss at Post 4249, when I was telling a vet that I worked at GM, the ex boss said GM wood products, I said GM Tech Center across the road from Bally's / Vic Tanny @ 12 and V.D. in Warren Tucky. Oar was it in @ Troy Truck & Bus doing the GM Hummer, oar @ the Mopar Body Design Aids in Hazel Tucky where I was a metal model maker. Keep working I want my SS, oh that's what my SquareHead Gramps wood say. |

Typical election year BS, next article will say Trump will pull the plug on all SS benefits

It should have been explained a bit better.
"run short of funds" meaning short of funds for full benefits, (reduced to 83%), NOT an empty kitty. |

Quoted: Disability takes many forms, many of which I don't agree with. My sister takes the applications for SSDI, she can tell some stories! 'I can't work because I can't read' 'I can't work because I don't get along with people' 'I can't work because I'm too fat and can stand on my feet very long'. My wife works at Sam's, she see's the other side, SNAP. Grocery carts full of premium food products, steaks, lobster, ribs ect. It ain't fair I tell ya'. I told my wife we should apply for SNAP and save ourselves about $400. a month! View Quote Wife is on SSI, I'm on SS. We just paused our volunteer status at the UMC Benny's House Food Pantry, as she is having knee surgery on Monday We donate food and dog food our ankle biter's won't eat, but the WalMart and SavaLot brand are not good enough for the "Clients" The " clients" usually have Pits' Rott's GSD, or Marmadukes. They whine about no dog food. We get the food donated from the Animal Shelter 40 miles South of the Joe Louis Training Camp with entourage. I buy doggie food for $20 at TSC or Farm and Home, that's the price of TuPac's of Marlboros they all have hanging off their cocksucker NVM praying at the altar of the 501C |

View Quote I read the latest figure is a reduction to 77% due to early retirements (due to Covid and the vaccine mandates). Mark my words -there will be no reduction. They will increase the retirement age a bit and increase the earnings subject to the SS tax. Or they will print money so inflation will solve the problem. |
