I don't think it's millennials buddy. It's your republican colleagues in the house and senate that want to cancel social security. I mean they keep saying it over and over.

It's the democrats are the only ones keeping them from cancelling it.

calm down bill brasky

clearly you care more about your social security than mine…which I’ll probably never see a cent of

social security is the greatest scam in history

ok I’m going to take your money, since you are an “idiot” and stick it under my pillow and spend it as I please - keeping you from investing it or using it to remain debt free

oh and they must not have the internet or forbes in enoree - or common sense

“An “entitlement,” as a type of federal spending, is a government program in which recipients automatically receive benefits that they’re eligible for based on the applicable legislation. Social Security is an entitlement because everyone who meets the eligibility criteria (40 “quarters” of eligible earnings) is entitled to a benefit. No one is dependent on Congress to appropriate spending every year in order to receive their Social Security checks.”

oh and I’ve been paying into it pretty hard for twenty five years - so i have enough in the game to make my own judgments big mouth

and clearly my education paid off as I don’t rant angry nonsense like Joe Biden at a union event

Well in reality people keep saying we won’t see a cent of our SS, and that is probably true, but there has not been SS money for years. It’s been borrowed against seeing we are 30 plus trillion dollar in debt. We have zero dollars and the 2 sides are too far apart to come up with a budget. Starting to see a trend of more takers than producers. What makes it worse the takers complain the producers don’t pay enough. Only in America.

It is not an entitlement when you pay into some with expectations of getting your hard earned money back…its not the American peoples fault that congress hands these funds out to every swinging #### that crosses into this country that have not paid a dime into it…your woke congress made this mess.

Interest and principal on about $32 Trillion in debt kind of gets large. Go figure. I guess that’s ok when the Treasury has a printing press. Federal spending for ‘22 is now projected at $6.7 Trillion, basically a continuation of the Covid level of spending and I think will add between 2-3 Trillion in deficits to the National Debt depending on actual tax received.

And globalist Republicans, like Desanctus, only care that "they got theirs", so they refuse any attempt to stop Democrats from being Democrats.

Never want to say its all a lost cause...but we are getting closer and closer to that point. Lord willin', Jesus Christ comes back soon to fix this whole mess!!

SO TRUE, THAT IS WHY THEY ALL HATE TRUMP. HE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. AT LEAST 70% OF EVERYONE IN THAT SEWER CALLED WASHINGTON NEEDS TO BE SHIPPED OUT BEFORE IT IS TO LATE.

From a guy that's worked in government acquisitions his entire career....

-The rules of US government spending causes tons of intentional waste. If America really knew how bad it was, you'd prevent the government from taking more of your tax dollars until it's fixed.

-No government program works efficiently. None.

-No government EVER gives up power... they only absorb more.

-Politicians are rewarded for more spending, but never for saving.

-All news organizations are political.

-A regular citizen will not win a national election without the backing of a party in 99% of political seats.

-All politicians increase their net worth by millions each time they are elected.



Shall I go on? I can really get into the good stuff.

Also, highly recommend a book called "The End of the World is Just the Beginning" by Peter Zeihan.
