  • The reason a payment wasn't missed is because they just printed more money!
  • We need to eliminate the $168,000 Cap on Social Security taxes. We need to eliminate the Carry-Trade, Depreciation, Depletion, Deferred Compensation, IRAs. We need to make Rent tax deductible, tax alcohol and have an 11% Tariff on all finished imported goods.
  • My loved one is fully wheelchair suffers seizures, has had 3 strokes, a carotid dissection, a heart attack and has paid into the tax system for over 30+ years and now having to fight like hell to receive their disability. Their fight has been for 4+ years now in pain daily and last week they had another mini stroke 😡😡😡

    Good points by Rep. John Larson. The Retirement plans / schemes funded by yourself (I.R.A.'s) and investing in x-y-z plans / schemes, brokerage / stock companies can go dead next week. People against the Social Security system have never read / watched / listened to the N.Y stock market crash of 1929 and the resulting worldwide financial problems that lasted for at least 10 years. Banks closed their doors.
  • US Government Income.... .........$4.4+ trillion. US Government Expenditure.......$6.6+ trillion The majority spent is Social Security. A deficit of...... $2+ trillion per annum !
