Leftocrats trying to bankrupt social security before Trump takes office

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

Democrats have been caught doing the very thing they’ve been accusing President-elect Donald Trump of doing: Cutting Social Security.
On Wednesday, the U.K. Daily Mail reported Senate Democrats are trying to push through a Social Security reform bill they want to see signed by President Joe Biden before Trump takes office.
The Social Security Fairness Act aims to repeal provisions that reduce payouts to public sector employees who have their own separate pensions.
The CRFB also states, “As a result, we estimate a typical dual-income couple retiring in 2033 would see their benefits cut by an additional $25,000 over their lifetime.”
The think tank says if Social Security runs out of money under this bill, as much as $400,000 in benefits would be lost for the average couple. CRFB states the cost for the bill over the next decade — citing the Congressional Budget Office — would be $190 billion.

Are you talking about the bipartisan Social Security Act that passed 76-20 in the Senate and 327-75 in the House. Is that the bill, Numbnuts? You may want to do a little research on it.

Can't be that. It would blow up the OPs fear porn.

If the Daily Mail says it's the Democrats....it's the Democrats

Musk is saying that we may need to cut SS payments to pay for his tax cuts.

You mean the long overdue need to repeal the completely unfair wep and gpo? It’s about time. Op is a numpty and probably has no clue what these provisions even are. He is to stuck in his echo chamber.

SSI is always a convenient vehicle to scare the BuhJaysus out of older Americans who tend to reliably vote and get frightened into believing that their little pittance is going away.
There are reforms needed and someone has to have the balls to say it. And work on it.

There is a vast amount of people through no fault of their own that "pittance". is their means of survival.

Not all of us were dealt from the same deck, but we're all human beings. The Right doesn't have empathy or compassion, strange a former educator is so compelled, and subjugates people with need as undesirable and even unfit.

I have no disagreement with this.
