      Although I didn’t finish high school, I have watched several YouTube videos, and I have the solution. Lower the SS tax on millionaires, and the benefits will trickle down. You’re welcome.

      In 2032, I will have paid into the fund for 34 continuous years of professional working life.

      I don’t expect to retire until maybe 2040, but when I do, I expect to get zero out of my 42 years of Social Security payments.

      The biggest fucking racket ever and Republicans are 100% to blame.

      When social security is finally done away with, I guarantee that two thing will happen.
      1. The payroll tax deduction will remain to help ‘balance the budget,’ and
      2. The rich will get another round of tax cuts.

      I retired at 62, have a small 401K, and I’m surviving on it pretty well, my wife has insurance, and won’t retire for at least 5 more years, if it wasn’t for her having the health coverage, we would be screwed, I’m hoping to sell my home in a few years and using that to supplement our earnings, but, it’s gonna be pretty tough to get by in this economy, thanks tRump.

      Are they predicted to run out earlier than expected or are they expected to run out earlier than predicted?

      People, when they say the US is in debt it is because they treated social security like a piggy bank.

      You will be asked to give up another five years of your retirement so the rich don’t have to pay 2% more in taxes.

    15. zmunky on

      It’s because the rich are bleeding us dry. Kinda to be expected with the fox in the henhouse.

      Just eliminate the SS withholding ceiling. All would be resolved and increased benefits would be possible

      So lift the fucking cap, Jesus Christ.

      This is an artificial crisis. It’s completely unnecessary. And yet as per usual we’re going to screw over the vast majority of Americans in favor of the rich.

      As long as Republicans control anything Americans will starve, or die on some distant battlefield.

      Well the “war on terror” cost 8 trillion and replaced the taliban with the taliban. Clearly worth not being able to retire.

      Didn’t I just read that america is spending about a billion dollars a day of taxpayers’ money to carpet bomb Tehran? Hmmm

    26. SellsNothing on

      They could just tax billionaires to fund it….

      Nah who am I kidding, they’ll just raise the age of retirement and keep us all working to our graves.

    27. account_for_norm on

      We just spent 1 billion bombing Iran, for nukes they dont have, to stop nuke facility that we just bombed.

      Anyone else react to every headline like, “well, yeah. Obviously. Duh.”

    30. scrodytheroadie on

      Cool, so, my union job that gave me a pension collapsed, but at least I won’t have social security. Guess I’ll just be a Walmart greeter until I die.

    33. chucktheninja on

      But you can bet your bottom dollar they’re still gonna take the money.

    34. trisanachandler on

      Remove the cap, evenly apply it to capital gains, and to make up for not having done this years ago, increase the tax.  An extra 1% for each 185k made from any source.  Max percentage of 50%, and anyone making that much can tell themselves they won at life.

    35. Menanders-Bust on

      I’m a physician and we experience classic republican math among our ranks

      – Republican MD: votes for Trump hoping for minimal income tax cuts, approximately 20k per year
      – Republicans: run the country into the ground, torch SS, cost Republican MD 1.5 million in missed lifetime social security payouts
      – Republican MD: *shocked pikachu face*

    36. sacklunchbaby on

      Hmmm, wow y’all it really looks like they are just stealing the money.

      The tarriff money.
      The Medicare money
      The seized oil tanker money

    37. BigNorseWolf on

      Ok. a government program does not run out of money. It simply requires more funding. In this case, from a less regressive form of taxation because holy shit is this a regressive form of taxation on workers. The investing class doesn’t pay into it at all and rich people have a cap.

    38. joesmith127_reddit on

      Doesn’t matter. The billionaire class will be just fine. They might even decide to offer to buy our “little houses “ and rent them back to us for less than the mortgage payment just to help us out

      so basically, the American public SHOULDN’T have put a crime syndicate in power and helped enable a widespread conservative looting spree.
