Should Social Security age be raised before you can collect it and should Social Security be funded by stock market?

[888theGreat]

We have at best 5 years left before it will run out due to disabilities caused by Vaccinations. Yes short term Covid deaths helped a little as it mostly killed older people receiving Social Security payments. The disabilities though will out number deaths.

Should Social Security payments be cut in half?

Should Social Security be funded by the Stock Market?

Should Social Security age to receive be raised to age 70?

Should amount taken out of your pay for Social Security be raised?

Remember when Social Security was created , not many lived long enough to receive it. It was a classic bait and switch leftest tactic so they could use that money for more social programs.

They should just take more of your pay out of your check

They should cut payments in half

They should allow stock market gains to finance Social Security

They should raise age before you can receive Social Security

How about all the above solutions

Do away with it all together since half of Americans get some sort of Gov't assistance

Do away with it and let Americans decide what to do with the money the Gov't steals from them

[NaultD]

At least double the cap, if not triple it, or better yet, for 99% of all Americans, remove the cap on contributions to Social Security all together. Many elderly people simply buy things, and this is the only way to keep the USA going during our most difficult times. Like covid 19 times just buy buy buy and the elderly can do just that.

From there, any surplus can go to the stock market, be invested in future spending, and relieve the burden on future generations of paying for their elders. This will allow them to invest in themselves and create a better future.

My business relies 85% on people getting Social Security

[NaultD]

We needed to build up to it. That's why we started with the question of when, where, and for whom. It is supposed to grow with the times.

As a proud American citizen, do you want elderly homeless people begging for money at every corner? We are the greatest country to ever exist. Everyone should be able to retire comfortably within their own means. It would be a big bonus for younger generations not to have to spend their life savings on helping their parents, grandparents, and children. That way, they would have more money to invest in the future, creating a better future for everyone without compromise.

You do understand this is 101 on being a hardcore leftist?

[NaultD]

So everything I've just said can apply to every single thing you have been afraid of and be solved.

That 888 and the hate it holds in your name has given you no room for shelter or security has it? Not a single ounce of warmth.

Take my logic here to all your fears and find what you are missing in the name 888.

There is love, security, passion, understanding. Room to find anything missing in life you can find is found here.

I already feel like I’m going to work until I die but I’ve paid into it since 18 so I definitely deserve it but raising the age is basically what they did if you want to get the max or it will be half anyway if you take it at 65 not 70 anyway

[888theGreat]

not many do that

[Anonymous]

Other: People at 62 should be able to collect full benefits regardless of how many hrs they are working. They want u to wait until 67 to collect fully if u are working full time and are only allowed 17 hrs a week to be able to collect. I do believe that by the time many at a young age right now get to be 62 or even 65 to collect, It may not be around.

I honestly don't know. I don't even know how ssi came to be while I don't think the age should be rise the rules to get ssi should be harder to get we got too many people who aren't even citizens of this country getting welfare.

Roosevelt as an anti Depression measure as told but really money for Gov't spending

@888thegreat nice sounds like order out of chaos to me.

[888theGreat]

One of those invented crises that they didn't let be wasted

[Anonymous]

They are running out of the "Trust fund" money in 9 years after that your looking at around 25% reduction in payouts depending upon how many young people there still are working.

Unfortunately the lack of retirement savings and child rearing of the same young people never born and raised out of anticipation of Social Security payouts to replace their historic role in providing for retirement is a far more consequential problem.

Ironically that only makes it harder for existing young people to have kids of their own as the burden of supporting theses vast populations falls ever more heavily upon them instead of providing for their own future.

We would have been far better off letting social security collapse earlier to motivate more millennials and Gen-z to invest more in children instead rather than untrustworthy goverment.

Biden has already raised he retirement age, Everything is so much more expensive that it was when /Trump was president that nobody can afford to retire.

[normalice]

I don't really know much about social security but I know the far right wants to give it all to the rich and so I oppose anything your ragetards come up with on principle.

[888theGreat]

The rich only get what they put in. It was their money they earned by hiring people so they would put money in to the system

[normalice]

That's the way it currently works, but the far right wants to give all the money currently in the social security system to just rich people.

[888theGreat]

You are right you don't know much , about anything.

[normalice]

I know "give more money to the rich" is how you ragetards approach absolutely everything.

[gorydetails]

They should start with people born in 2026. No social security. And refund everyone their money they've put in and let them invest as they see fit.

[OtterMan68]

you pay in, and you get that back plus interest - but the gov invests it or does like a bank and loans it out; therefore, people over 65 are not dependent on young workers - i. e. a Ponzi scheme.

And make it voluntary!

[Surely]

They should raise the Social Security tax limit.. or not have a limit at all.
Most people probably doesn’t know that there is a limit.
