But the government can find plenty of money to give the young that won't work but know how to have plenty of illegit babies. It's kind of like encouraging open borders with a handout.

Yes you are so right... isn't that a crime called"imbezelment" Should they all go to prison for it.

Amen

That's what I been saying for years there is no shortfall...if they put the money back they took we would not have this problem.

True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.

Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’AILEEN GERTRUDE TIPPY” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

They already are in the Streets

I am one of the elderly who need s.s. to survive & I am very concerned. John.

if they cut it i think you will see a lot of the assholes who agreed to cut it out of a job ..if the elderly just sit there doing nuthing watching crap on tv shame on them

if the government cuts social security your gonna see those elderly at the capitol and itll make jan 6th look like the tour the innsurrectionist republicans say it was! i myself will be at home! because thats not how to affect change! ill just vote! i agree they count on it! i do!

You will find them dead not just homeless..and its so not fair they worked they deserve it

I think those who paid in for years should not be penalized for less people working now.

Thank you so much Deborah well said and much needed to be said. God 🙌 bless

They’re pandering for votes.

Paying student loans only benefits the universities and colleges why...because they will give lump sums of money back to the political candidates. It is not about helping the students.

Since the money isn't invested, it would still run out. It never was supposed to be your only retirement income. Only a supplement. It's your fault for not saving. Everyone should be putting aside at least 10% of their income for retirement.

How about giving social security to immigrants who have never contributed.

Title 4 pays the states money for every dollar paid in child support. They just take dollar for dollar for every from social security. Stop this stealing of SS dollars. It hurts people paying child support.

Absolutely correct it's not thier damn money

The irs was taking all our money and giving to other countries hope the irs is gone and

Nancy that is the American way. We have lots of money so lets let this happen. Think of two or four million that have come here since Biden is president. They will benefit and our social security trust will be used to pay these bastards out of money we have put into the trust.

People bring their parents here from other countries, and as soon as they get here put them on social security.

@@gordonhennefer5074 Yes! I worked with a guy from Pakistan who bragged that he just brought his mom over and she was already receiving ss!!!

crooks alright!!!

Then we have all these X- cons out of Prison who knows what crimes they've committed and apply then get S.S. for the Rest of their lives ,what is that a Reward for their crimes wow

My mother and father in law died at 62. Got nothing.

That’s our money!!!! We are simply paid what we put in

@@annebentley7578 Yes, nobody is unaware of that. SS is more of an insurance policy than a savings account, however. Everyone needs to have insurance or else those who have it would end up paying for those who don’t. Everyone also needs to know they have a safety net in case they become disabled, which can happen to any of us at any time. SS is a great program!

If they raise the ceiling, they will also have to raise the max amount that can be received per month. The ceiling is limited because the max payout is limited.

The answer is not "Raise taxes" as politicians always use for a solution. It should instead be, to stop pissing our money away on useless programs and welfare to other countries so they will continue to support our corrupt fiat monetary system. Of the cost incurred to support Biden's Ukraine war, it's calculated that less than 30% is used for the intended purposes. The majority ends up as cash in the hands of Ukraine's highest level elites. To me, that's an exceedingly high cost for US taxpayers and other citizens of the world to e paying so Ukraine, will keep a lid on The Biden family's corruption in The Ukraine.

CUT MULTI billion DOLLAR PROFITS

They wrote IOUs never intending to replenish it.

That is the true meaning of stealing !💁👍

Quit taking our money. We paid in to it and when we need it, the crooked gov. has already helped them selves to our retirement. Karma is payback, let them reap what they sow. " The greedy ones". God is watching.....

absolutely

Done stole our money owed to us,now they say that ,theyer giving us stimulus like we on welfare & beggin like bumsb on the street...WoW! So sad,pray for them crooks.Robinhood done robbed the hood.

SS cuts itself. Workers don't want to pay any more taxes.

ABSOLUTELY WHO REALLY WANTS TO HELP THOSE ukranian women and children putin is bombing thats their problem right!

Nobody receives "Social Security Retirement Benefits" unless they have paid into the system for a minimum of 10 years. Other government spending may be going to some people that have not paid into SS but those are not SS retirement benefits. Thank you for your comment!

That would pertain to SSI recipients

Thank you for this information. You have helped me very much

How do you receive SS if you didn’t pay in? I would like to know!

@@beautyRest1 Social Security retirement benefits are ONLY available to people that have paid the FICA taxes for a minimum of 10 years. People that did not work and did not and pay the taxes do not qualify for retirment benefits. There are no exceptions. There may be other types of benefits someone can qualify for but not SS retirement beneits.

There you go David, the magical word - "IF".

Why is Biden giving billions to Ukraine and le u

We always have trillions for war and it's not even on this continent.

Ok Boomer.

I agree! Worked my whole life , from the time I was 16 .Paid into the fund while working a full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. Now they want to cut my payments by 25 % ? Way to manage the fund that many of us rely on.

SS is a separate fund.

I agree.

What State are you in?

NOPE.

the democrats have introduced a bill saying exactly that! st ronnie STARTED taxing social security!

Oh mam, That makes to much sense.

All federal employees pay into SS. Since 1986.

Remember Joe saying ( pay your fair share ) guess that was everyone but HIM or HUNTER !

A lot are on ACA, their Spouses insurance, or get their own

Absolutely!

Ditto, my father as well

That's the scam part. The money he paid in is swallowed up by government. In a private pension system that money in the account has to be paid out to heirs or spouse. But with SS they get to keep the money.

stop the steal

Go after the high income people who do not pay taxes thru loopholes.

Like Pelosi and Shumer

I COMPLETELY agree, Steve! John.

I think they should both go to prison and have all their assets taken to pay back into the SS coffers. 50 years ago my father told me that the math didn't work out, that at some point they wouldn't have enough to pay out SS from the people they took it from. He thought it might even happen in his lifetime. They have managed to float it along until now, It's happening in my lifetime.

My grandfather was one of those who paid in and died before he ever collected one penny!!!

My mother and Father in law both died at 62.

Most having already paid in to this exacted numbers accounting system. So how did it get out of kilter?

It sounds like you are experiencing the earnings limit penalty. You are penalized in this way when you have earned income above $19,560. I'm guessing that you started benefits before your full retirement age and you are still working, is that correct?

Maybe one of the new 80,000 plus agents could figure this for you I'm sure it would be no problem. I'm sure because the tax code is not very complicated on cold they can have these people up and running faster than Putin can raise his army back. No problem for BIG government.

Sounds like you're leaving out some details of the full context of the letter received from SSA

@@FinancialFastLane If one retires at age 62 and draws from a 401K...is that draw considered part of the wage factor of $19,560?

@@loish.7923 No, Only W2 income or net business income.

Why should employers be made to pay 6.5% taxes into social security for non citizens? Green card holder contribute into the system and get get benefits from the system, only if they live in the US. US Citizens can receive benefits regardless of where they live in the world. Any other people working in the US are required to put into the system, but cannot receive benefits. All the stats quoted should have been know by the politicians for decades.... they keep talking about social security reform ... but nothing gets done. You are also taxed on your benefits (upto 85%) of anything over certain thresholds, which I think is wrong. However it is what it is. and ain't going to change.

Non-citizen employees pay into SS.

Your best chance for keeping your social security is to vote Democrat because Republicans are talking about wiping it out all together and the never talk about you not having to pay into it even if it is wiped put.

Non citizens should never receive SS

They do. It's called employment tax. And it's 7.75%.

But there are billions for Ukraine.

That’s what I mean they always have money for wars but not for there people we work for years 60 years so they can tell us that there going to cut are soc sec checks ridiculous

You don't understand how it works apparently. It's a pay-as-you-go system. People working now are paying for people receiving SS. When you start taking SS, other working people will be paying yours.

This is true, the ss cards were printed And it shows how this was done

That is the dumbest thing I've heard so far today.

Heck lets give all the countries in the world our money. It is so un belivable we have idiots running the country.

After Biden it ain't worth much now.

Other talking heads say fee getting an 11% INCREASE attributed to an increase in COLA.

Israel alone gets billions a month of our taxes. That alone could support Social Security indefinitely.

Exactly 💯

Just imagine all the elderly government with they're salaries, plus, SS, plus having the ability to buy stocks.

Our wonderful gov. has allowed the drugs to be let in to help keep people enabled, but gov. Gets their kickback, as long as gov gets their money, why would care & how about the homeless, another shocker. I can't believe how shameless they are. Discussed citizens... ....

@@marjorieharrington2513 I can say one thing....personal responsibility....I'm not a drug addict, derelict, homeless, or unemployed person.... I don't want to pay for drug addicts or lazy, stupid people....I'm ok with paying for 10% of the 'real' needy people, with mental illnesses such as schizophrenics, and psychotics, etc...they are victims of brain chemistry and genes. I blame the ACLU for all of the mentally ill that are living on the streets....after winning a case for the 'rights' of the mentally ill not to be housed in facilities or take medication to help deal with their mental illness ....this resulted in the closure of about 90% of mental health facilities and left those people out on the streets to deal with life's struggles. Drug addicts...don't care about them...let them eat dirt. BTW...I agree with you about the government colluding with Mexican drug cartels...just look what Obama and his gang did while they had the reins of government. They're all multi-millionaires...drug payouts, payola for favors...now it's the fake president that is in the position to make millions more...Trump was cleaning the swamp until the corrupt demo-crats installed voting machines that could be manipulated....given a brain-damaged Biden the position. No one in their right mind believes that Biden beat Trump with 81 million votes.

They do pay it back, when you retire and take Social Security benefits.

Yep. It’s the retired, elderly, disabled they to crush

@@SandfordSmythe Where did you get your information?

@@SJMatta SS Act of 1935. All surplus funds are invested in government bonds.

@@SandfordSmythe After reading the act itself I am to understand that they took half of the social security paid in to create a Federal bond fund to enrich the Treasury? I've never heard that and most information online was what we read in school. That portion was omitted in the textbooks.

@@SJMatta They took the surplus - the money not paid to beneficiaries. I don't know where you got that half figure from. There is no SS Fund in the Treasury, and it becomes cash that is all mixed up with everything else. The SS Fund is in the certificates held by SS. What did you think happened to the cash that was paid in? It needed to be invested and the banks and Wall St were not good places.

dont listen to this because the republicans have been moaning about soc sec since 1935! they will at the very last minute raise the cap on it and you too will get it!

It didn't start just now. They've been taking out for years.

There's a video where Bernie Sanders and Lindsey Graham talked about Social Security. I searched it on KZfaq and found it.

The COLA is the inflation/cost of living adjustment calculated each year.

Yes, they do have inflation adjustments.

@@DavianSinnerYes, some pensions do have cost of living adjustments, and some don't, most importantly do they keep pace with inflation that is driven by political policy?

My wife and I were in business for 17 yrs. We not only paid in as most we also matched that rate as an employer. So we paid double as most business owners do. Your employer is required to match yours also.. As an employer we matched those hired and we paid in our own as well as matched our own. It’s just part of it and we are not complaining about our responsibility! Only unhappy for anyone losing out and we are not happy for ourselves as we know A LARGE PART OF THAT LOSS FOR ALL OF US do to mishandling in a way much worse than will ever be told! It started long ago. Yes I hear the numbers quoted all the time. Yes we understand the math! Or do we? This was planned carefully before the inception as well as the obvious fact that adjustments would be needed in the future! It was also understood that many would come as life progressed! If it is as simple as we are told then you must take responsibility for calling out the simple stupidity of those elected officials that implemented this many years before. Maybe we could go on knowing or appreciating how stupid we must be, as well as the implication of our government leaders stupidity back in the day. We are to believe some how that in the same amount of years only few advanced or EVOLVED to this place of utmost intelligence! DNA?

Me too

YUP!

And every one collecting based on what they paid in?

Pelosi is giving it away as fast as she can !!!

Where can I look this up? The SS web site says something different, but they are probably part of the conspiracy Come to think of it, everyone seems to be part of the conspiracy and keeping the truth from us.

I checked them. What was raided?

There shouldn't be a cap on individual contributions. If the rich can receive SSI payment, they should be paying in at least as high a percent of the finances which they gain in the year (regardless of the source, "income" or not, taxable or not), as someone earning an income of $50,000.00 a year.

and congress continues to dip into the Social Security trust fund. Shame on you for what you are doing to the American Retirees. Keep your hands off of our retiremennt.

His chart is a little skewed. He left out the fact, in 2020 through 2022 this Whole country was locked down due to COVID-19 with many ppl not working/ paying taxes. Very little was being paid into Social security with much paid out, causing rapid depletion of funds.

@@bcase5328 There is a cap because the benefit is capped.

If they raise the ceiling, they will also have to raise the max amount that can be received per month. The ceiling is limited because the max payout is limited.

I think about what NAFTA did to many living wage jobs

They do already.

There are lot of the people making millions who pay very little or no taxes. President Biden is planning to hire more IRS employees. 30,000 IRS employees will be retiring and the plan is to have more IRS employees going after the 1% making $175,000 or more to pay their taxes. The average folks will not have to pay more taxes. Bernie Sanders is working on a plan with Lindsey Graham to come up with a plan. It's Ron Johnson and other Republicans who have been trying to remove our SS every 4 years. It's the Democrats who have worked to save it.

I'm not sure how you could have missed it. It is near the beginning of the video. The major change is the 25% reduction in beneifts.

If they raise the ceiling, they will also have to raise the max amount that can be received per month. The ceiling is limited because the max payout is limited.

Most of the people in government today are crooks, haven't you noticed? And have you noticed just how many have been "bought and paid for" by crooks to do they dirty work through the government and have "excuses" to explain to we the people "why we are having trouble" with our money today?? All a bunch of crooks.....and notice how "rich" they are!!! They all belong in prison! We all need to stop being meek and mild and come out fighting and tell our government we have had enough of their lies, that we worked our buns off for years and paid our dues and we aim to collect what is rightfully our money. Otherwise, we were just slaves so others could take what we earned, for their own spending! That's what it looks to me....what are your thoughts? I, too, paid into SS since I was 16 yrs. old, too young to understand what retirement was all about back then, and I am now 84. But the bottom line is, we have crooks in all levels of our government who dipped into our hard-earned money, telling us today we may have a "25 percent reduction" in our next COLA. They had better start calling in All the debts owed to SS from the many entities out there! House Speaker Pelosi mentioned that they had to borrow $2 Billion from the SS Fund to pay for the 1st Impeachment of Pres. Trump, only to find out they had nothing on him.....money wasted!! Did they repay that money......probably not. It's wreckless spending and they probably don't care as they think we would not notice! I'm almost sure Pelosi isn't the only politician who dipped their fingers into our SS Fund!

@@robertdevoy3119 The lawmakers could change that,if they so choose

They participate up to that level. The pay and collect up to that figure. They don't have to worry about retirement resources.

They pay the tax up to a $147k limit because the monthly benefit amount is capped. If they raise the ceiling, they will also have to raise the max amount that can be received per month. The ceiling is limited because the max payout is limited.

Bernie Sanders and Lindsey Graham are working on a plan.

The plan I heard is that we ALL get reduced Social Security.

If you have to go on Social Security disability they will give each child under 18 1/2 of what you are being paid each month also.

Renegade, not always. I was born with a disability, birth defect, and though I did try working when younger, it did not work out well for me and I got back on SSDI... I had my son when I was 32, and he is now 11. He only gets $26 a month for having a disabled parent, to add to my $870. He absolutely does not get hardly a fraction of what I get, and we get no child support from the deadbeat dad either. I have heard of others who get a lot more than my son does, but for some reason SS told me that even if I had another kid (which I will not) that I would get no more money for that kid and the $26 is all my son will ever get. I have no idea how other minors with a disabled parent get so much more, but I know it's true that they do.

What about the hundreds of millions being spent to take care of millions of people who are in the country illegally? How about the billions already sent to Ukraine?

thats exactly what they will have to do!

If they raise the ceiling, they will also have to raise the max amount that can be received per month. The ceiling is limited because the max payout is limited.

It is a pay as you go system. From the 1980's until 2020 there was a surplus and the surplus was put into the trusts. Accouring to the Social Security Administration there is about $2.9 trillion in the combined trust funds and they are expected to be depleted iby 2034.
