    Dude, they have been saying this since the 80s. Make the agencies who raided the fund in the Regan era pay that back and there won't be a issue.

    Tax all funds, no ceiling. Means test what people get on a sliding scale. Millionaires don’t really “need” social security.

      Or government could quit deficit spending and be fiscally responsible. Tax the rich is going to be passed on to the poor.

      @Over50tv  Před 6 měsíci

      I think that could help in the long run, but the deficit is so great it could be a long time before SS is made whole. The problem needs to be addressed in the next few years.

    Remove the income ceiling on paying into SS taxes.

      Yes. The current limit is ridiculous and outdated. If that were dealt with, the problem would simply go away. Don’t mess with seniors, they VOTE. It amounts to a competition between those seniors and the big money corporate donors to the politicians who are tasked with making these decisions.

      Something needs to be done to shore up the trust fund. I'm hoping politicians don't take an ax to a problem when only a scape is required.

    Shame we were forced to pay into a system that will be insolvent However we will be taxed more if we work while collecting SS just to cover the cost of inflation!

    This government needs to pay for the feeding, care and maintenance of illegals and those on the dole by taking away from those that have paid into the system all their lives.

      Simple financial logic eludes these rich corporations and their paid-off politicians. What else would you expect from these mammons? The Western world will be a toilet of new third-world nations led by elites from their gated communities and bunkers.
      The longer it takes for people to rise and fight for freedom, the harder it will be to reclaim our natural rights from these greedy power mongers.
      Sadly, look at the upcoming generations of slackers and you will realize that it is likely too late. We are living in a failed system.
