⬆️ @steter
>> [ #UnitedStates ] is dead. When the #SocialSecurity checks stop flowing, the political scum will face millions of angry seniors with nothing to lose, #Republicans, #Democrats, and #independents.
I would limit Democrats to #EstablishmentDemocrats, but when things get ugly, who's paying attention to nuances?
This and food inflation in particular, along with #Trump's corruption and #venal offices, is setting up to be a rerun of the #BreadRiots that sparked the #FrenchRevolution.

Fuck my life. My country's social security system is the pits. I got survivors benefits because my abusive mother died. I didn't know social security counts that as extra income. I was getting the maximum amount on SSI. I was approved for survivors benefits but then they lowered my SSI payments because I'd have extra income. I know people don't like it when disabled people get things for free, but I wasn't going out and buying cars with it. Fuck.
> Your new amount will be $125 unless you appeal.
Firstly, that number is way disproportionate to what I was getting before. The fuck? That's a 95% reduction rate! I hate this system. You bet your ass I'll appeal. I'm lawyering up. Why is it okay for a billionaire to hoard multiple houses but I can't hoard an extra, say, $100 monthly? Explain why billionaires are applauded for stashing cash and poor people like me are spat on because we maybe want to stay at home and write Fan fiction. Oh, is it because I'm not working in your myopic view of work? You don't have a clue what living with a disability is like.
News flash. Billionaires don't work either. Billionaires exploit others labor.

@ChrisMayLA6 @HarriettMB @junesim63 But there ISN'T a "lack of money" - that is a #myth. The idea that the #cost of #socialsecurity is "spiralling out of control" is a #lie. One expects it from the #Tories, but to get the same thing from #Labour is absolutely disgraceful.

This is what many Americans call socialism…
this is what they don’t want their taxes paying for. This is what Project 2025 and the Trump administration say need to be cut, and what individual responsibility and empowerment should take care of. These are some of the programs many Americans say are used by lazy loafers who don’t want to work. And, no, nobody pays for their own Social Security and Medicare benefits - Both are a collective risk using an insurance concept. Americas social safety net Social Security - Retirement, […]https://quinnscommentary.net/2026/07/28/this-is-what-many-americans-call-socialism/

PS:
LAST #BANKING #INFOSEC QUESTION
4) what’s up with banks using automated phone operators that ask for your #socialSecurity number AND bank account number. aren’t they supposed to NOT make it easy for 3rd parties to get that information? why are they demanding it to take a phone call they are obligated, by law, to answer?
these questions obviously apply only to the United States.

Denmark vs. United States
Some Americans are obsessed with doing away with their version of socialism, as inaccurate as it may be. Socialism is not a system providing a strong social safety net. But there is something more important in comparing high taxes with risk and true out of pocket costs. Lower taxes are not necessarily a net benefit and definitely do not spread risk financial stress equally. Here is a summary of what people in Denmark receive for their high taxes. • Pensions, unemployment, and social […]https://quinnscommentary.net/2026/07/27/denmark-vs-united-states/

Proposal would limit #SocialSecurity benefits to $100,000 annually for couples to boost solvency
Story by Elizabeth Guevara, July 21, 2026
These solutions would generally only lower the benefits of the top 20% to 30% of earners, the CRFB said.
Excerpt: " 'If you’re getting $100,000, as a couple, in benefits, you probably have tens of #millions of dollars in #assets, and your Social Security benefit is not very important to you,' Goldwein said. 'Over time, as this phases in, it’s going to affect more people further down the income ladder, but every version that we model [is always] incredibly progressive.' "

Oh yes. Abusing the system by paying for an #education and then paying into #SocialSecurity when they become wage earners?!! WTF!
