We know there is no lock box where the government keeps the pile of cash they need to pay out to Social Security recipients. There is simply a stack of IOU’s government officials have put there, knowing that the day is coming when current receipts being used to pay retirees will not be enough to cover the total. It is a ponzi scheme that both parties are in on. We also know that if workers had the same amount of money that is taken from their checks for the social security “savings” trust to invest, they would end up being multi-millionaires rather than getting a paltry $2,000 or $3,000 a month. It is theft, pure and simple, brought to you by the U.S. Government.
Here is another scam that is designed to siphon off cash from retirees for government purposes. Under Barack Obama, the “working man’s friend,” there was a shortfall between gas tax receipts and projected highway spending. The president and his accomplices in crime looked around to find another source of revenue to pilfer, and they found it in the private pension plans of workers who will depend on those funds for comfortable retirement. That is not going to be the case.

Worked 40 years for my private sector pension that pays me about 50% of my ending salary which is fine and fair and not up to what those in the public sector DEMAND. But I worked hard for it and the f”ing federal government and Obummer need to keep their thieving hands off our pensions!
Yes, and we had no choice. Our employer paid into it along with us. The Washington do nothings did not pay into the system. They should have to live by the same laws they make for us. I am 73 & still have to work.
I never thought that the day would come that I would hate the Senate, Congress and the president, but the day arrived this past year. I’m disgusted. Ughhhh
Barbara Sue Williams I am sorry Barbara for what these criminals have done to you and the rest of us.
Fucking thieving bastards !
Hmmm
THEIVES
So who do we have that gives us a better chance at getting our money back out of Social Security? Trump or Clinton?
