Not many retires are old enough to remember SS was a contract with the govt, you pay in all your life, THRN you collect when you retire. It was a govt hedge against inflation.
Probably a little offensive when the govt changes the rules when you get to the end of the contract.....
SS is one of the few welfare programs left that had a goal, a plan in place, and worked.
Changing population makes the math harder to work out now, but at least it has a framework that could be fixed and remain functional.
The rest of the welfare of this country is just a mess, go pick on that first. Don't be cutting SS first off.
We stalled the farm bill for over 2 years, all to shift 5 billion from farmer over to the welfare side of the farm bill. Barely cut anything from the whole program, and 4/5 of the money spent on the FarmBill is actually spent on snap food stamps, free school lunches, and the like.
Then all administrations spend more money than comes in, this one especially so, making the whole IRS a joke, when you are printing 1/3 of the budget why bother collecting the 2/3s or pretend you are doing anything to balance a budget.
Now they want to add tolls to the interstate highways system.
More, more more.
We aren't going to get there from here, it doesn't work.
Of course no one wants their program cut, because every other program is expanding. They need to balance the budget, cut everyone, get these extra fees in check, and people will get on board.
