What’s the excuse “they” will invent to cut Social Security?
————————————
We know “they” have been at it for a very long time. DUBYA attempted a partial privatization but it failed, probably because Republicans’ own constituents wrote angry letters and shouted at the top of their lungs over angry phone calls.
Since then, there has not been any serious attempt - but I can sense one coming in the next 5 yrs.
My guess is they will use the next wave of banking failures and financial collapse to push through “reforms.”
Remember, code words like “fix,” “overhaul,” and “reform,” are merely silent speak for screwing peons over.
Why does every “tax reform” (minus 1986) open up more loopholes (designed for the ultra wealthy) than it closes?
Why does every “immigration policy fix” since 1965 let in more illegals and legals?
Such a coincidence the wind blows one way every time +_+

In 2022, unauthorized immigrants contributed $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, typically by working under borrowed or fraudulent Social Security numbers. Unauthorized immigrants, however, are ineligible to claim Social Security benefits.
Bottom Line
Although there is no plausible scenario under which additional net immigration would entirely resolve Social Security’s impending insolvency, immigration has significant interactions with the program’s financial health and plays an important role in the U.S labor market to offset the continued decline in birth rates.

When UE hits 18% they're going to leave the US voluntarily, which will compound the gap since native birthrates are still decliningBlackvegetable » 03 Jan 2025, 2:18 pm » wrote: ↑ Unauthorized workers contribute taxes but are ineligible for benefits

Assisted suicide will be much more of a "well promoted issue" by then.......

Liberals are spoiled children, miserable, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic & useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats ~O'Rourke
The Democratic Party seems intransigent on their position of keeping the party ‘woke,’ detached, exclusionary, and totally insane.

It's got all the lastest celebrity gossip, lots of articles about Gay Culture and fashion tips that effeminately raised ****** Bitches like Richard S must keep constant track of.

Employees of contractors are not employees of Trump. Not surprised you don't understand that given your Poison Ivy League education.
Since I don't pay to read articles, I'll ask a question so you can not answer it; Did they work directly for the Trump campaign or for organizations supporting Trump's campaign?

I know that you have reflexive coping mechanisms. Please stop sharing. If I thought as you do, I'd be as stupid as you are.

I wonder which of us has ever read a PPM for a development deal.Employees of contractors are not employees of Trump. Not surprised you don't understand that given your Poison Ivy League education

I didn't say it wasn't. Reading comprehension must not be taught at Poison Ivy League institutions.
By the way...you still haven't answered any of the questions.

This is a good question. It could easily be fixed by raising the age or by means testing. Or by getting rid of the cap on contributions. Or by some mix of those three. But I doubt "they" will try to save it.LowIQTrash » 03 Jan 2025, 11:44 am » wrote: ↑ What’s the excuse “they” will invent to cut Social Security?

And it's easy peasey, thanks to reagan, for them to steal the SS trust fund from the impregnable lock box. All they have to do is not honor the debt instruments. The SS trust fund bonds are the only U.S. bonds that are not negotiable to third parties. They can only be cashed - or declined - by the federal government.
