from the Fool:
President Donald Trump Has Dug a Nearly $169 Billion Hole for Social Security
According to the 2025 Trustees Report, the OASI's asset reserves -- excess income collected since inception that's invested in special-issue, interest-bearing government bonds, as required by law -- are expected to be depleted by 2033.
If the Trustees' forecast is accurate, retired workers and survivors of deceased workers could see their monthly checks slashed by up to 23% in seven years.
...the big, beautiful bill is projected to increase costs for the combined OASI and Disability Insurance trust fund by $168.6 billion from 2025 through 2034. This is a roundabout way of saying that reduced payroll tax income collected by Social Security from 2025 through 2028 is going to widen an already large unfunded obligation.https://www.fool.com/retirement/2026/03/28/donald-...*8ioypg*_gcl_au*MjA5Mjg1MDE2My4xNzc0NzQ1Nzk0*_ga*MTgzOTYxNDU3NC4xNzc0NzQ1Nzk0*_ga_B6G4KMLCV0*czE3NzQ3NDU3OTQkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzQ3NDYzMjMkajMxJGwxJGgyMDU3MDQxOTQ.
Water carriers for the regime have already been hinting at the plan: beat more work, for longer, out of the Proles.

Hilarious. It's not like SS hasn't always been a Ponzi scheme ever dependent on a growing US population. And that life expectancy wouldn't surge.
Blame the Baby Boomers. Too many of them, and they didn't have near enough Gen X kids.
And oh, yeah. Blame the PA board. Bunch of old farts there who wouldn't even consider any kind of fix to SS.

DOnt worry. After Trump is gone all these things will get fixed.
Americans - Republicans and Democrats will come together under one proud history, one understanding of American history and civic responsibility.
Because anyone who says that culture decay and 3rd world style tribalism has arrived in america will be wrong.
So just think - Social Security reform will happen. And I'll be thoughtful people at the helm. Not bloggers and podcaster and radio hosts running the policy.
Ahem.

Free Narket will win.
If AI displaces more workers, we'll have less FICA revenue.
That'll help.
This is gonna help even more than free trade did.
And the Google Jockey will be here with "links" saying "c'mon gee, you aren't starving. Here's a Google Link, eat that"

Not to worry, MAGA doesn't need those socialist handouts!...
Most MAGAs are plenty wealthy from their amazing investments in Trump Stock, DJT (-35.98% YTD) and Trump & Melania Meme coin investments (Down -97% & -99% So far)!
MAGA!
(If not for the socialism we hate so much, many of us would be eating dog food! Woof!)

Blame feminism.
They believe a woman who wants to raise a family and have a bunch of kids as a primary life goal negates the very idea of being a woman. No, being a woman nowadays means you have a penis and testicles or something.

Except that they don’t believe any such thing.
Granted, I can see how you are regurgitating the horseshit you’ve been fed by the right wing propaganda factory for the last several decades.
Garbage in. Garbage out, and all that.
Perhaps you will attempt to justify your nonsense by appealing to some radical feminist from the 1970’s. There are undoubtedly a few of them buried in the woodpile.
But feminism has moved on. You seem to be incapable of doing so.

Given yours and marco’s remarks, I’m beginning to understand the underlying reason why so many men of MAGA listen to a guy who urged his listeners to tan their testicles.

Umm, come out from under the rock, grayling. Bill is right.
You don't have to be female to be a feminist. I am a man and a feminist. My wife and daughter are feminists, too. And not that it matters, we're all cisgender.

Well now, my opinion of you has changed, can’t handle opposing points of view,
you’re the one hiding under a rock.
Although I don’t agree with most what you post, I don’t shy away from reading them.

You mean you are a sissyman.
Since you are not man enough to read my posts/replies, perhaps Bill would do me the curtesy
and pass it on to you for me.
tia Bill.
