Maybe come up with a tax write off for people who can afford to opt out not take and get some form of reimbursement for there contributions in another form

They have to fix it, without drastically cutting benefits for those depending on it. Without social security, the country fails, a total collapse, so that's simply not going to happen.

Increasing the wage base, stop illegals from collecting social security, eliminate fraud and take away benefits from those who really don't need it as mentioned above. I don't like taking anything away that people EARNED, but we have to take drastic measures to preserve it

Social Security will eventually be replaced by the new Trump Accounts.

Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. It cannot be "fixed"

If you were able to invest all the Social Security contributions you made in an index fund, you would have at least a million and likely over 2 million.

If you made the median income and worked for 32 years, you would about $1.6 million.

30-40 years ago, all we heard was SS was in the toilet and wouldn’t be there for us. I’m in my 9th year now collecting that SS they told me wasn’t going to be there.

Maybe they got it right this time lol.

And more if we weren’t fk’d by the Dems fraud of trillions of dollars of our tax $$. We shouldn’t pay half the taxes we pay.

Probably is. All I’m saying is they have been talking about this for a very long time. And I’m sure they will find a way to keep kicking it no matter how heavy. Hope so for you guys sake. Im pretty sure I’ll be good

Here’s the problem in lamens terms on why it’s not sustaining itself. in 2026 highest monthly social security payment of 5100 a month is not being balanced out by the average worker paying into it. So do they cut off people who payed into this there whole life because they don’t need it other then party fund?

 

[brendanjack]

That’s full retirement age 5108$
