We are actually paying in to Social Security for the *next* generation to draw from. It is an *intergenerational* social contract. It is NOT a โ€œsavings account,โ€ it is a dynamic resource. If we allow Republicans to say otherwise, weโ€™re in trouble.

The 'takers' suffer from 'Dragon fever'.

When they see a pile of money, or gold, they NEED to get their slimy hands on it, to take it, and to own it.

The Social Security fund is just far too attractive for anyone with 'Dragon fever' to ignore.

They'll come for it, without a doubt.

On the other hand, there was a large group of people (the 1st recipients) who received Social Security but paid little or nothing into it (certainly not paying into it 'their whole life'). Also, increasing lifespans have really upended the 'math' this program was predicated upon. Tough spot.

PSA: forgoing consumptin the past has not ensured that resources are available to support you now. A nation cannot save for its future in terms of a currency it issues. As such, social security can never go bankrupt, and entitlement should be based on citizenship not "contributions" or extra taxes.

Not a dig butโ€ฆ that was not particularly coherent.

Our social welfare systems should be more robust and not based on contributions. But SS is not. That said, the government has an obligation to continue to pay regardless of what is allocated/set aside for that.

Donโ€™t let them gaslight you! There is no fraud, waste, or abuse in Social Security. Republicans have been trying to destroy it for 90 years.

Firing 7k will decrease response times and the agencyโ€™s ability to make payments to 71m recipients timely and accurately.

Itโ€™s not a Ponzi scheme Elon, itโ€™s paid for by workers!!! Even undocumented workers pay into it but donโ€™t receive the benefits.

Us GenXers were basically told to โ€œnot count on itโ€ as in we will be lucky if we get it. Iโ€™ve been investing since after college so I wouldnโ€™t be SOL. So Iโ€™m not shocked Iโ€™m 7 years from collecting and may have to โ€œwaitโ€. Tillโ€ฆ Iโ€™m dead?!

Removing the tax from social security will make the fund run out 2 years earlier.

What the administration doesn't want you to understand is that it is an investment in your future. As you say, we're entitled to it because we made contributions throughout our working lives.

The amount of just plain wrong information in the comments boggles the mind. I worked for SSA for 30 years as a policy specialist, programmer and office manager. I know how it works. Please read the pinned post in my profile.

The mistake we have allowed to happen was to not push back on calling them entitlements. SS and Medicare is part of our paychecks, we contribute to along with our employers, from the time we begin working until we begin collecting. It's not that we are "entitled"... it is our money.

The only mistake was that we let them twist "entitlement" into having a negative connotation. But the fact that we paid into it is exactly what makes it an entitlement. That's the CORRECT term!

We need to push back on the idea that it's wrong to expect that to which we are, yes, damn well entitled.

There's NOTHING wrong with calling them entitlements. That is precisely what they are. We are ENTITLED to that money.

I mean, think that through. It is BECAUSE it's your money that you are entitled to it. THAT'S WHAT THE WORD MEANS.

Surely with this administration there has to be some sort of fraud involved in this process.. All the reasoning to end the program and keep our hard earned money.

Entitlements mean "something you are entitled to." Somehow, people don't grasp that.

If they cut it, isn't there cause for a nationwide class action for every single American to reclaim every cent of their money paid in? Anyone know a good lawyer? Case of a lifetime.

I was taught that social security works by paying into it. We pay into it now to fund the people that need it now, and when our time comes it's funded by a new generation. So on, and so forth. Rich people saw that big pool of money as a free donation to themselves and are now stealing it.

Social Security has been around almost 90 years!!!! 90. And it's taking less than 3 months for Trumpturd and Musk to destroy it and pocket our money!!!!

Clearly this is an underlying issue with the law that he could even get away with this.
If we can wrestle control from these fascists and save our institutions, there'd better be some strong reinforcement written into state, local & federal laws to prevent this from happening again.

Even if you'd taken timeouts from paying in due to childrearing, furthering your education, etc, you'd still deserve to reap the benefits of a Social Security check on retirement.

Yes! I went to college and was a stay at home mom for ten years. But I have worked for 37 years. I have paid into SS and Medicare with every paycheck, and don't want my or anyone else's contributions stolen!
