It could be there for the younger people too, if you would get the damned crooked fingers out of it.
It should set up as a 401K dedicated to the individual that pays it in, and no one else should be able to touch it. This raiding SS to put the money in the hands of criminal POS politicians must be stopped.
I paid into SS my whole working career! I started collecting SS when I was 62 and have been collecting for 13 years! Coupled with my Military Retirement pay I actually enjoy Retirement as a Senior Citizen! I have worked all my life and have given back to The United States of America by serving in the Armed Forces of the United States! So these Jasper's that want to end Social Security need to actually get a real job and quit riding on the backs of a Patriotic citizen!
They have robbed the fund to the point of breaking it, and now keep trying to cut it out.
You don't want to pay something back to the people you took it from then you shouldn't have taken it to begin with. Besides a lot of folks would be better off today if they had had their money to invest.
And that is the catch, with sheeple many are to damned stupid to save a penny even if they made enough to save.
Social Security under government control is a scam. Required investment in personal 401Ks or other investment accounts is a good idea. If people can't be responsible, make them. Social Security on the other hand is a Ponzi scheme in which the government controls and abuses.
Here's the thing. Anyone who worked (with a few exceptions like educators in some states) paid into Social Security their whole life. Congress robbed the Social Security fund to use for pet projects over the years, which hamstrung the fund. If I worked and qualified to receive Social Security, I should get it. Period.
Imagine a strong, vibrant, and steadily growing America First economy. An economy based on Agenda 47 that levels the playing field for the American worker. That economy will have no problem funding Social Security and Medicare.
These programs are not entitlements, they are government mandated retirement programs we are forced to fund. But, the America Last crowd of Dems and RINOS want to pretend itβs their money and claim they have more important things to do with it.
What I think is that young (teens, twenties) people -- who can't imagine themselves ever getting old -- hate Social Security, and consider it legalized theft for the benefit of undeserving Stupid Old Farts.
As those same people apprach retirement age, they begin to see the light.

It was voluntary...until it wasn't, just like taxes.
100%.

Itβs another fucking tax. Just like fucking Medicaid. Slush fund for grifters.
Yep. Just return the money people paid in and call it even.
It's one helluva ponzi scheme.
Nowadays the SS waiting room is full on twenty yo filing for benefits
I do not ever expect to draw from social security. I'm several decades away from retiring but there's no way the system hasn't collapsed by then.

Who gives a shit what that little rat says?
I think the concept of an economic safety net for older Americans is a sound concept but the way this system is structured is fundamentally flawed.
A working system is Social Security requires a robust economy, elected officials who put Americans first, sensible fiscal budgeting and means testing.
We currently have none of these economic basics. As it stands, SS, like America, is doomed unless drastic positive changes happen soon.

PONZI SCHEME.
Only the government is allowed to operate a ponzi scheme.
Next item on the list: Is there any program the government can manage better than private companies?
Yes. There is one, and only one: grifting.

Ben Shapiro can kiss my non-Kosher ass.
Ben is wrong because I'll be collecting it for at least 30 years if not longer lol. I paid in for 44 years so screw him.
