Remember I grew up in McDowell county? It was 90% democrats back then. These are people I grew up with. One even said maybe I could get by without it. I just pointed out that the govt. rrpubs and dems, raided the fund for their own personal projects. I think I heard that the IOUs are held in a building in Parkersburg thanks to Byrd. There’s no way it should be insolvent. Congress isn’t disciplined.
Yes, it’s a disgrace how badly they mismanaged that program. Like you, I don’t need it but I am not willing to say no to the payments when I’m eligible to receive them. However, I do have my suspicions that those of us who did the right things of living within our means, saved and invested wisely, and thankfully didn’t experience any terrible and costly illness, are going to see our benefits reduced greatly. Those that didn’t necessarily do the right things will benefit the most. Just a hunch that that day is coming.
It’s not taking anything out of context. You expressly blamed Trumps tariffs for inflation.
At 70, I doubt if they’re going to be able to reduce mine too much. Congress just hasn’t met a dollar that it didn’t want to spend $1.50
Yes we can help the sick and elderly and those wouldn't break us especially if we get rid of fraud and waist. Its those who count on government for needs while spending all they can on wants .
