Republicans have always been out to take SS away. They have borrowed millions from it starting with Reagan. Has never paid back any and is slowly chipping away at it.

What is it called once you have received social security payments above & beyond your paycheck contributions? Entitlement.

Social Security is not about entitlement. It’s your money you pay and the government uses it until they have to give it back when you retire without any paying interest or anything on it so that’s where the entitlement come from. They think it’s their money until they have to give it back to us.

There is no president in the history of presidents, who has committed fraud on the American people like chump!!! What happened to the money he has collected for tariffs?!?!? The deficit hasn’t gone down, in fact it only keeps rising?!?!? We know where it has gone, into chump’s bank accounts!!!!He has gone from a millionaire to a billionaire in one year, because he is nothing but a grifter!!! People are paying him for criminal pardons!!! That’s going in his account!!!! When he has meetings in marlogo he over charges government people to stay in his rooms along with charging exorbitant rates for rent on the place to have the meeting!!!! That’s why he has so many meetings at marlogo!!!!!! All of this goes into chump’s bank accounts!!!! He has millions of ways he is gouging the government!!!!!! This, in case you didn’t know, is also against the law!!!! They should never be using any of his company’s facilities!!!! All of this thanks to our felon & grifter in chief!!!!!!!

Many people who are collecting SS DID pay into it . But many,many people collecting never paid in one dime.

Workers don’t get Social Security by accident. They pay into the system for decades and earn eligibility. “Entitlement” is a legal term, not an insult.

LoL. Right… and it was Joe Biden as a senator that sponsored a bill to tax seniors and SS. Now once again , how is the party that voted for you to start paying 3% more in the personal income in 2026 days s the party for the people and not a bigger more power on the people government?

Republicans LOVE to complain about things they really don't know anything about. I get my SS, but I don't get a full share, because I didn't pay in to it as long. I can't get disability for the same reason. I used to be an artist for WB, but my eyes went bad from a genetic condition. It's not an entitlement. 🌸

A 100% correct.However, the Democrats also given the same to illegals who never paid for it.That's why if you want to collect social security in this country or anything from this country , you should show a citizenship

And DJT thinks because he's president HE'S the only one truly "entitled" to have that money. Why waste it on a bunch of old farts and disabled people? He thinks they're abusing the system and by depriving them of that money it will lead to a quick end for them. Thus fewer people "on the dole" as it were. Fewer of them means more money for him and he wants full complete access to the government's coffers so he can rob us all blind.

But the kicker is, while we pay into Social Security, Congress has treated it like THEIR PERSONAL PIGGY BANK, FOR ANYTHING THEY WANTED TO FUND. That's theft from insiders and it should be illegal.

The Republican want to go private even wanted to go to the stock market with it so that the rich can get rich and when the stock go down, guess what you don’t get a text that month and if you do get a check, it’s not really a check it’s more like a gift card so when I say Social Security is in problems that’s a lot because think about it if a person works and they get 55 years old and they started working at the age of 18 they pay taxes and they unfortunately died before drawing their Social Security and let’s say they don’t have any dependence they want to receive their Social Security so that person that paid from the age of 18 years old to 55 years old all that money is given to the government and this is done every day people work they’re not able to draw it or if you marry another person, two people can’t draw Social Security checks

Congress thinks it’s an entitlement but they don’t pay SS so why are they in charge of it and they have the say as to how much is paid out to SS recipients who paid into SS their entire work life they shouldn’t be in charge of lunch room account. They have a hard time living on$75,000 a year and they expect us to live on $3-4,00 a month.where’s the fkg logic and why is there a shortage of SS money

Yes it is a pay as you go system. You pay into it while you are young and working. Then you receive as you go out of the system otherwise when you stop working at the age designated by the government. What sucks is the government has given SS to people from other countries who have never paid into the system. They get doctors to say their child has asthma or some other illness and poof they get SSDI and aid for dependent children and Medicaid!!! It is not right. Then those of us with major medical issues like disc degenerative diseases, onset of Alzheimer’s, 2 strokes, depression with suicidal tendencies we get nothing we get denied!!! My appointment with the doctor to see if I qualify for disability was walk this line, arms forward, reach above your head, squeeze my 2 fingers. That was it!!! Nothing about the pain, disc degenerative disease, depression, my 2 strokes!! But if I walk across he boarder illegally I am given everything!!! Plus food stamps!!!

Some are not allowed to collect it only if they have had 40 quarters, otherwise one loses all their SS money paid in over the years. Texas Teachers lost all claim to Social Security due to having a retirement program with the teaching f I ends. That way changed by Congress 2 years ago. But those of us with 32 to 39 quarters forfeit our SS wages collected, still!🌸💕
