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!

#IranWar - Benchmark Brent Crude oil price reached $91+ today, at the same time Whiskey Pete warmonger was testifying to Congress that the unwelcome & unwanted #War has already cost 37.5 billion US Taxpayer dollars - not including the massive costs of rebuilding damaged US bases in the region, replacing depleted armaments, & the costs to US and global economies. The #Pentagon and #TrumpRegime are asking for a $1.5 trillion budget for even more arms & to fight more wars. This…at a time when #Republicans have slashed #Medicaid; reduced or eliminated #SNAP benefits; curtailed & defunded scientific research, including Cancer research, and are eyeballing reductions in #SocialSecurity & #Medicare. All for a disgusting display of macho-man aggression, promoted by Trump’s Israeli handler (Netanyahu has to have something on him) & fueled by maniacal male madness. WTAF⁉️Meanwhile, gas prices are back⬆️, rent is ridiculous, and buying a house or new car breaks the bank. So much for #affordability. #USPol #USPolitics

While Nero daillied Rome burned.
In our case our naked Emperor Is focused on reflecting pools , gold lame decor, Arches and statues , medals and prizes, and kowtowing supplicants who fight to lick his ass demonstrably.
Meanwhile the treasury is depleted the deficit close to $40 Trillion and Americans are crushed by inflation , diminishing benefits and huge debt.
Hey AARP Social Security trust fund will be depleted in 2032. Average cuts to benefits $500 (vary by location).

#ICE to Pay #ThomsonReuters $125 Million to Find ‘Voter Fraud’
The Department of #HomelandSecurity (#DHS ) plans to pay data broker giant Thomson #Reuters $125 million for access to its databases of personal data — which includes peoples’ names, addresses, #SocialSecurity numbers, ethnicity, #socialmedia posts, and #geolocation information — to help #Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigate what it describes as “voters fraud” and immigration fraud, according to procurement documents reviewed by 404 Media. The document says Thomson Reuters is able to let ICE continuously monitor millions of people and entities of interest.

Congress says Social Security is six years from insolvency. At the same time, it keeps finding $100 billion plus for a war in Iran and half a billion for a no-bid White House ballroom. For young voters, that trade-off means a shakier retirement and a tougher path to owning a home.

I agree entirely with Ruth Lister - #socialsecurity #benefits, especially those for the #disabled, should not be referred to, either by #politicians or #journalists, as #welfare. "Welfare" is, or has become, a demeaning & contemptuous term.

Just gonna say, government websites got a whole lot worse under the #Trump administration. Having trouble logging into my #SocialSecurity account, never had trouble doing so under #Biden.
