This is what happens when you let a white racist, narrow minded shit brained idiot from S Africa dig around in high levels of govt policy and systems.
He doesnt even know about SSec survivor benefits. If a parent who has paid into SSec dies and leaves behind minor children then those kids can get some of their dead parents payments.
This has been forever. I got some a couple years of these types of benefits way back in the early '70s, this is nothing new.
And I guess Muskrat doesnt know that SSec is a pay as you go pension system and not a ponzie scheme which he called it. The funds to pay SSec checks have been paid into by each individual into the trust fund that spreads the liabiltiy for paying retirement. Statisitcally some people are going to pay in for 30-40 years but die early enough to not collect and the people who live longer who have paid in will continue to collect.
These are not handout giveaway money programs. And with his words he is playing with political fire as well as making 71 million recipients angry and their kids angry who will have to support them if their SSec stops.
