Quote HistoryQuoted: The average person on SS right now, and since it's inception, has received more payouts than they paid in. This will soon shift to the average person going on SS paying in more that they will receive. So, pretty much everyone on SS at this time has been stealing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They are already lowering the estimates. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. still with current inflation who knows: Inflation in July, August, and September 2022 will determine the COLA that Social Security and SSI beneficiaries will receive next year. The COLA takes effect in December, and the updated benefits are paid out starting in January 2023. If the COLA does land at 10% or more, it will be the third-highest increase since COLAs began in 1975. The highest and second-highest COLAs were 14.3% in 1980 and 11.2% in 1981[CB3]. Pretty amazing if it does pass, this and last years COLA bump is the same amount as my monthly mortgage payment. My last new truck purchase as in 1994, If this goes through I think I will buy a new truck. |

Ponzi schemes don’t require forced participation. The problem with social security lies with the government, not with the participants. Unless you are in some select group, you are participating in the same “socialist policy.” |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Promised welfare is still welfare. My point is that the idea that SS is some sort of return on an investment is pure fantasy not supported by mathematical fact. Hey boomer hater, you forgot the part where he mentioned paying for his SS benifit for 50 years. That's a lot different than welfare. |

Go to work for the railroads, some of the fire depts, public schools, police depts, etc. then you won't pay into SS. Then do like some people who claim SS is a "boomer" entitlement and draw off their spouse's SS after they retire feeling superior and smug all the way. Win Win all the way... get the money and get to claim "I didn't participate in that boomer scam", look how pure I am!

The really sad thing that many don't even grasp is that IF the crooked politicians had INVESTED the SS funds instead of stealing it for other purposes, Social Security would have been solvent for many years to come.
And fuck all of you calling it welfare when I was FORCED to give 15% of my earnings (self employed) to S/S for 45 years of my life. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I am a boomer. I don't know anyone who wanted the economy shutdown. Assuming we get a 10% COLA, it doesn't make up for all the years we're we got little or nothing. Get over the idea that SS is in any way responsible for any financial problems people have. None of the retired people I know have a mortgage on their primary residence. The only reasons I can think of for getting a mortgage is to move or because they need money to pay bills.
