Guy doesn't even understand that social security is an unsustainable program and the sooner we shut it down the better. Give him his due but current 50 year olds should be on notice, the well is drying up

Nope. Hard NOPE. Social Security is funded and will remain so long after you're dead. People like you have been saying this every year for last 50 years that I am aware of and they continue to be wrong.

"The White House Office of Management and Budget estimates that both trust funds will no longer be able to fully cover benefits with income and will need to use savings starting in 2020."

I mean, if you say so? It's a giant ponzi scheme. I'm not even 40 and I know there's no money coming to me.

Hopefully not

You don't know crap. Read the notice on the SS website. This is a fully funded program. People are sick of all the conspiracy, right wing, cry baby whining. It's tiring and a waste of all our energy that could be put towards the good.

"As a result of changes to Social Security enacted in 1983, benefits are now expected to be payable in full on a timely basis until 2037, when the trust fund reserves are projected to become exhausted"

After which benefits will have to be cut by 13% or federal payroll taxes raised by 14%. I lean more left but social security will look nothing like it does now by the time I get to see any of it. It won't run out but it will likely be severely diminished.
