Where is the EVIDENCE??

Dore bloviating without ANY EVIDENCE is hardly worthy of whining about anything. He's RARELY BEEN RIGHT ABOUT MUCH OF ANYTHING!!

And as a FYI, and ENTITLEMENT has nothing to do with paying into it, but everything to do with QUALIFIYING UNDER THE PROGRAM!!

You may bot be ENTITLED to FOOD STAMPS, but you PAID FOR THEM!!

Try not to be so **** STUPID for a change.
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.

That is how much our (wife and I) labor has paid into SS over the last 45 years. Add another $113k for Medicare. That could have turned into one hell of a retirement account. The problem is, it's not a retirement account, it's a welfare program and there is no guarantee. The sooner you realize this the better off you will be.

The Wife turns 62 next January, I collected at 62 three years ago. Our combined benefit will be $52k a year. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how long before we get our money back. After that, it's the ultimate gravy train for a millionaire household.

Raising the cap will only give those high earners a larger benefit unless something else is written into the law.

I don't have the answers but something needs to change.

raise the cap, not cut back benefits-which would the poor peoples benefits I am sure- don't raise the retirement age--- RAISE THE CAP!!!!
I agree, the cap is ridiculous...

:rofl:  I probably should have already died, too many close calls within seconds of being in the wrong place at the right time.

The average is a little longer than 9 years:

On average, a person in the United States who is 62 years old can expect to live for around 20.8 years, with men living to an average of 83.6 years and women to 86 years.

raising the cap is the only fair solution.

I've always thought that the cap was ridiculous...

two problems here...

I believe accrued wealth should have a bearing on collecting SSI...

Congress should never have been allowed access into SSI's coffers to use as a slush fund...

In the end all that does is give high earners a larger SS check.

I agree it could be a quick fix short term but not actually a solution long term.

are you saying billionaires should not get 5,000 a month? I would agree.

limiting social security to people making under 200 million dollars a year would free up a lot of money.

The average Social Security benefit was just $1,979 per month for retired workers in January 2025. But Social Security's wealthiest beneficiaries get a lot more. The max monthly benefit in 2025 is $5,108 per month. That adds up to more than $61,000 per year.3 days ago
