Your links mostly cover the same three people having made informal comments about the fact that something will in fact eventually have to be done about SS.
That's hardly, "the republicans are gonna take your SS away", as we were led to believe by our fearless potatus potato the other night.
If you know a problem is coming, isn't wise to at least start discussing the possibilities, and to do so well before it is at the point of imminence?
If the tranny (commonly used term for the transmission in your car that has been hi-jacked by the the idiot woke leftards) in your car starts making clunking sounds as it shifts, but for now will still get you to work, would it not be considered smart to begin planning for its eventual repair and, if necessaty, replacement?
Or ya gonna wait until the day it is mission critical that you get somewhere, only to have it finally die on ya and then get upset because you can't find a mechanic to fix it on the spot?
That is what our choices are on SS.
From one of your links:
By law, Social Security cannot contribute to the federal deficit, because it is required to pay benefits only from its trust funds.
The part they leave out is the fact that the "trust fund" is 100% "invested" in US government debt.
Debt that the US gov pays out of the general fund that is itself funded by current tax receipts and additional debt.
When, not if, it gets to the point that the funds simply do mot exist to make the previously guarenteed SS payments, what should be done and when? Do we wait until that day comes to then worry about it? That seems to be what the bidet and company want to do.
