A House-passed bill to reform aspects of Social Security is lingering in the Senate as questions bubble up over its path forward.
The House approved the bill — which would do away with rules backers say have led to unfair reductions in benefits for some who have worked in public service — by a wide margin earlier this month. But some are concerned about the measure’s chances in the Senate as lawmakers face a ticking clock before a new Congress is ushered in.
I heard a joke about Social Security but you won't get it
ReplyDelete^$^!#*'s sure do take care of their own. "Public servant" tax eaters get their college loans zeroed out, higher pay than private sector, cadillac benefits, and this. All on the backs of private sector producers.
ReplyDeleteFJB wrote the bill that makes 50% of SS benefits taxable, and voted for the bill that makes 85% of them so for higher income retirees. And they never do anything to fix the looming collapse, but keep increasing the handouts to those that don't work at all.
Now this may be difficult for senators to comprehend but...If you do away with SS every person that paid into it is going to demand their fucking money back, and then want the deductions for it stopped, and every government position in the SS Administration to be eliminated STAT. Anything less, and "taxation without representation" will be the least of Washington DC's problems....
ReplyDeleteWho the hell gave the government to over see Social Security and Medicare when we the working people and the employer we worked for paid into these funds, the government paid ZERO monies!
ReplyDeleteThe people that voted for the libturd commies to get into gummint office.

So a man works in private sector for 5 years and the gov takes SS out of his pay. He then gets a gov job for 25 years, rewarded with a generous pension that he doesn't pay for. I call the SS deductions reimbursement to the people who pay for his gov pension, a pension the private sector people can only dream about. Can you imagine a senator working for 5 years in private sector, then sitting in Congress for 25 years, retiring with a retirement income 3 times the average peasant's income and then crying he deserves SS payment? Sorry, a gov job gives you decent pay (often higher than private sector), medical insurance that is unknown outside of boardrooms, and then a retirement income at age 55 while average Americans are working long past 65 because they can't afford to stop working, Medicare they have to pay for, taxes on whatever SS they collect. Someone should feel cheated but it isn't gov workers!
