"He is dusting off the old Republican playbook and bringing back the strategy known informally as 'Starve the Beast,'" said one advocate. "In this case, Social Security is the beast."
So, this is an unpopular opinion, but I kinda agree with this (how tf am I agreeing with that orange turd?).
I’m in my 40s and even at this stage I won’t get next to nothing back for all the years I’ve been putting into social security because both democrats and republicans (mostly republicans) have been steadily taking money out of it in order to fund a multitude of government programs for decades.
Sure, this is not ideal, and the right course of action would be to lower out defense spending budget, and remove a whole lot of subsidies we give to industry that does not help us, but that would just stop the hemorrhaging of money in SS, but we would also need to calculate how much money was lost and replace 100% in one go in order to trully fix this issue.
Sorry bout the ramble, just woke up and on my phone.
Social security and medicare prevent huge numbers of people from falling into poverty at one of the most vulnerable points in their lives. Wanting to cut it because it doesn’t help you is cruel. Just cruel.
