Long overdue revisit of Social Security discussion...

Copy/Paste of Posts/comments/replies of mine from X related discussions, with some additional enhancements/expounding here-in…
 

SocSec is NOT going Bankrupt due to legal and proper #Americans getting back from the #Entitlement program we all paid into – it is BEING DEFRAUDED by Criminals and Foreign Invaders (who have no legit claim to a DIME of any of that money)!!!!

(cont) REALITY: A System in place for about 100 years IS NOT going to be SHUTDOWN and ELIMINATED by CONGRESS – NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, so you can deal in that REALITY and the FACTS and what can and to do about it or you can just VENT INTO THE VOID that is NEVER GOING TO LISTEN. Your choice… I choose REALITY (like or NOT, Reality is Reality, and must be dealt with, not some FANTASY or DELUSION of woulda, coulda, shoulda, we are where we are NOW (as fucked up as it has been allowed to get to))…. The Left, of course, just wants to IGNORE it all, wait for to completely COLLAPSE, and blame everyone else for their decades of DENIAL that we’ve (on Right) been trying to address (LIKE, and especially, THE FRAUD Left refuses to deal with #DemocratsCoddleCriminals)). We’ve been TALKING, NOT DOING, ABOUT the SocSec eventual collapse for THREE DECADES NOW.

TO THE RETARDS that responded with their DENIALS and DELUSIONS (that I didn’t bother to respond to, they are morons incapable of dealing in REALITY, so therefore JUST BLOCKED THEM and responding here as general reply to my initial (SHORT, yes, could have been more detailed but wasn’t, I expected folks to have SOME BRAIN CAPACITY to think beyond the initial post and able to do some own RESEARCH, which they were/are NOT))… Simple GOOGLE search alone points to my point that SocSec has about $2.5T IN RESERVES (that were looted, and left IOU’s, that now require FUNDING FROM GENERAL BUDGET TO COVER what should have still been in Reserve to cover Benefits even BEYOND when THE PAYING INS VS PAYING OUTS RATIO of Taxpayers is underwater…. Making the System VIABLE for many years to come IF THE FRAUD IS CUT OUT (those not LEGIT collectors) and YES EVENTUALLY OTHER ADJUSTMENTS (Means testing, teired payouts based on Means testing, even considering adjusting the Tax by a tenth of a % or so, raising the retirement age by 1 mo every year for the next 20 years which gives folks TIME TO ADJUST, etc.; but these things take BRAINS TO THINK ABOUT and a WILL to fucking do something rather than ignore) WILL NEED TO BE MADE but FOR NOW (and sadly Congress KEEPS KICKING THE CAN FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD RATHER THAN ADDRESS NO) it IS VIABLE (gets worse, less viable EVERY YEAR, but viable for a bit longer as is IF, AGAIN, THE FRAUD is cut and ILLEGALS and others REMOVED from the SocSec Rolls/Ledgers. GOOGLE AI Overview The Social Security trust fund reserve—representing the accumulated “IOUs” or special-issue U.S. Treasury securities owed by the federal government to Social Security—stood at $2.56 trillion at the end of 2025, with recent estimates around $2.3 trillion to $2.5 trillion. [1, 2] Key Facts About Social Security “IOUs” What they are: By law (Section 201 of the Social Security Act), surplus payroll tax revenues are invested in special-issue U.S. Treasury bonds rather than held as cash in a vault. [1] How they work: These non-marketable securities earn interest and represent formal intragovernmental debt—meaning the U.S. Treasury owes that money back to the trust funds (Old-Age and Survivors Insurance [OASI] and Disability Insurance [SSDI]) as benefits are paid out. [1, 2] Current status: Because the program pays out more in benefits than it collects in annual taxes, the government has been redeeming these securities (cashing in the IOUs) to cover monthly checks. [1, 2]

ONE RESPONSE:  Donna L. Threlkeld @donnathrelkeld2
I’ve been on X for years; however, I haven’t ever been this informed with this information that you’ve given me today. I really appreciate you. Thank you.

MY RESPONSE, TO HER RESPONSE:
Well, THANK YOU! This is my THIRD X account My original JLenardDetroit account started back in 2006 had 250k followers WHEN THEY LOCKED ME OUT. So, slowly rebuilding. If you LIKE all that/this, you’ll LOVE…. 1) my https://tinyurl.com/JLDArticles (some short and sweet, others VERY LONG AND DETAILED cuz #FACTSmatter #DETAILSmatter #CONTEXTmatters) 2) my https://tinyurl.com/ChristiTutionalistEduSeries of #books. 3) my attached “TLDR” song (as, sadly, most have TWITTER ATTENTION SPAN DISEASE as I coined it, unwilling bother GET INTO DETAILS/FACTS)!!!
 

Thank You #POTUS47 #Trump (@realDonaldTrump), I heard on #NEWS today that potentially a $90 check is to be sent to ALL on #MEDICARE recipients, which my being on Disability that $90 will indeed help me at least a little with (the #MediCare CoPays, as well as #MediCareAdvantage still amounts uncovered) #Medical #Bills (while not being #inflationary). AND FOR THE #TDS #MORONS: The #Congress AUTHORIZED additional #MediCare (NOT #MEDICAID, that is NOT an Entitlement we all, or at least all were SUPPOSED TO, paid into (part of the FICA Tax)) funds that can be used in this way and NOT just some #EO edict/dictate with no basis in LAW to do so. That along with potential #obaMAOcare rebates to those on that Program from funds authorized to aid in that DISASTEROUS Program (to help from both #MAGA and #MAHA values, principles, promises). These all SEPARATE AND APART from the potential $5k STIMULUS CHECK discussion (which, for the record, we cannot afford a $1.3T JOLT into the Economy like that without NEGATIVE DOWNSIDES even though I personally NEED that $5k (being on Disability and the #COLA‘s never were CLOSE to covering the BiDUMB #STAGflation rates (caused mostly due to over-influx of fiat printed monies by The Fed and flooded the Economy over BiDUMB’s 4 years)), I support MUCH LOWER AMOUNT (say $500, or $1k MAX, since we are STILL running a $1.8T Deficit (about, yes, that is despite some MINOR DOGE cuts, some Tariff Revenues, and positive growth policies creating positive GDP Economic growth which brings in MORE TREASURY REVENUE NOT LESS after the Tax Cuts (see my Articles here on B4IN and/or Substack about GROWTH ALONE will not solve all our problems – we need REAL SPENDING CUTS to NON ENTITLEMENT General Fund Spending programs, not just the minor amounts DOGE nibbled around the edges to this point and they need to be made PERMANENT in Congressional Law and future Budgets/Budgeting; no more Base-Line BS (/economics-and-politics/2011/09/base-line-budgeting-for-dummies-1139437.html) and about Tax Cuts, as even JFK understood: LAFFER CURVE)) and just crossed over the $40T Debt mark) which STILL will require Congressional authorization/approval going forward.
