But according to your link, of 800 million in savings, AT MINIMUM 740 million of it is accounted for outside of any fraud or abuse remediation. Which brings us back to who is dealing in fearporn and who is trying to right the system rather than manipulate its owners. Cuz make no mistake, every penny of that system belongs to the people who paid into it. Every last cent. 

If Elon wants to tweak a few things to tighten things up for efficiency, I'll get into the Grateful to Elon line and take my **** hat off when he passes by. But if he's turning loose jewish investment bankers to steal my money, I have some issues. 

And when I check my gut, I have to say this: Using fearporn and campfire stories makes his argument and his motive pretty **** suspect. The guy who is obviously trying to manipulate me is PROBABLY the guy who is obviously trying to manipulate me - if you follow my reasoning. 

I smell a rat. A big orange rat.
Every penny is, which is why 740 million in annual savings is YUGE in my book...and even if they find minimal fraud (whatever that is)...year over year it'll add up...

 I look at it as they've been at it for 60 days running into very suspicious opposition at every turn...that tells me a lot about the "business as usual crowd..." as they seem to be willing to run out the clock on America...

And this is in spite of a criminally low return that doesn't even pace inflation. Workers should be asking why the **** SS bonds receive a lower return than other investment bonds. There's your **** skunk - not the 300 year old ghost recipients that do not exist and are pure campfire fiction invented by Trump and Elon.

Throughout the boomer years, SS took in WAY more than it paid out. The boomers retiring reversed that - which is expected. Now it is paying out - from its bonds - more than it is taking in. 

You understand this process perfectly as applied to your other retirement savings. Why is it difficult to understand it with SS? 

Even if you were right that current workers are funding the retirement of yesterday's workers, the manner in which you present that information is extremely strange. If it were true, it would be an outrage. Where the **** did the money go? This would be the crime of the century. Where did those trillions of dollars go?
 
 And for the record, income FROM the bonds is not what retirees were told to count on. It is the bonds themselves.
so you don't like bonds as the investment tool while being adamant about it not being invested somewhere else...huh...

How Much Money Has Been Borrowed from Social Security?  

According to the Social Security Administration, a total of $2.9 trillion has been borrowed from the trust fund since 1965. This amount represents a significant portion of the trust fund’s total assets, which currently stand at around $2.9 trillion...

Maybe you have never heard of the "pay as you go" system, would surprise the **** out of me!
   +2Social Security is called a "pay-as-you-go" program because current workers' payroll taxes directly fund benefits for current retirees, rather than being saved or invested to fund future payments. Here's a more detailed explanation:Current Workers Fund Current Beneficiaries:The core principle of a pay-as-you-go system is that the taxes collected from today's workers (employers and employees) are used to pay the benefits to today's retirees and beneficiaries. No Savings or Investment:Unlike a fully funded pension plan, Social Security doesn't accumulate a large reserve fund or invest the money collected from taxes. Direct Transfer of Funds:The money collected from payroll taxes is immediately used to pay out benefits, creating a direct transfer of funds from current workers to current beneficiaries. 


Fact or fiction, you decide.

As far as the 300 year old being on the SS books, why the hell is that name there in the first place? Did some idiot think it was a good idea to go back 200 years and give some dead guy a SS number? Yes, there were idiots who thought all these people were getting checks, bless their hearts! The more important point is the antiquated data base, that's what I took away from it.

 
It would have to be "pay as you go"...OTW a whole generation would have had to pay in before the next generation could receive any monies when they retire...

Of course they're going to do something with it...why? because no company in the history of the world can lose $10 billion every year and remain solvent..

the gubment is hemorrhaging money... and it too, will become insolvent if something isn't done...and that will be catastrophic for generations to come...

I will say this much. 800 million in savings is **** up, since 800 million in COSTS is outrageous. 

So, yeah. There clearly needs to be some oversight. But when the overseers are linked to shady characters - jew investment bankers, aka the usual suspects who steal Americans' ****, - and they're justifying their actions with campfire stories, that stands the hair on the back of my neck at attention.

Precisely correct. The USPS is one of the most effective and efficient bureaucracies in this nation's history. It does a fantastic job of moving mail.

Which part of this did I fail to address:

"Whine, mothertrucker, whine......Dore is a stinkin' Yankee, right?

You pukes that are stealing from SS are crying the most. "

I addressed your impugning of Dore. I ignored your impugning of Mr. Kelly. 

You want I should address your insult to Mr. Kelly? Is that what's missing for me to "address what you said"?

I have no doubt. I remember one of the most touching memorials to a slaughtered staff I ever saw in my life. It was posted in the window of a post office. 

It read, "Help wanted."

The brevity, the poetry - I wept for the fallen.
