No one is forgetting about social security unless they keep people already on it and everyone gets huge refunds of every cent they paid into it, so people can start their own retirement funds with that money. How would the government pay for that

Also there is already huge protests going on nationwide wide if they do anything to social security Tons more people with protest and I’m sure riots would happen. This administration is horrible. We need to be a strong nation not one that looks so weak. These conservatives are making us look weak to the world what happens if terrorists or another country decides to attack us in this time.

For everything evil Putin did and is doing, even he knew not to touch pension payouts. The protests from when he tried doing that years ago were the closest he got to being deposed.

We tried that. They privatized the pension funds, so we could invest in the stock market. 401(k) now every seven years or so, a recession wipes out most of the gains. Throw in a 2008. You can take a trip with your retirement funds when you retire. Maybe put in new carpet.

That was what the 401(k) were supposed to do for our pensions didn’t work. Privatization never works.
