Not how Social Security works. It's not retirement savings, it's social insurance.
Retirement age of 65 was based on actuarial data from like 150+ years ago (hint: lifespan on avg was... 65), updating it to 67-70 isn't exactly the work of the devil.
Super double bonus not how SSA works: the fund is *supposed* to face depletion because the extra funds are for the Baby Boomers.
This is *expected and normal* but is instead used to sow panic.
There are a few easy fixes for SSA so it'll do its job for future generations.
You just gotta press the globs of hair and teeth that are your representatives in govt to do their damn jobs.
