      The plan may well be for current politicians to “retire” just before the social security payout is forcibly reduced, let their successors take the repetitional damage, and then re-run to “restore competence in governance”.
      And while they’re out of office, they’ll of course sit on boards of fortune 500 companies and pull in big dollars.

They never paid in back just like Congress stealing money from SS. Bush and Chaney got super rich from that war especially the stock they bought in companies that make military equipment .

    There should have been huge stockpiles in the SSA coffer's back in the 60's, 70's, 80's, etc., as the boomer's were working and paying into the system. Different administration's siphoned money from the stockpile over the decades (if the money was ever actually put into the trust, and not just redirected), and never paid it back, which created what is happening now (I've seen estimates of 3.6 trillion and higher, regarding what should be in the trust's). I was in the workforce 52 years, and so was my sister. Since the SSA uses your top 35 years of earning's to calculate a retirement benefit, both my sister and I, along with our various employers, paid in a total of 34 extra years, and get no return. This government need's to stop giving money to illegal's, proxy war's, and correct the wrong's they've perpetrated against US citizen's, starting with funding the SSA trust's, including all the interest that would have accrued, if they'd kept their mitt's off the money in the first place.
