It just never ends. Those who do not understand how the Social Security program works, endlessly mislead the public.
Social Security is not funded by the government. Social Security is funded by the people who will receive benefits after years of paying into the retirement system.
Anyone who can read would know that Social Security does not have anything to do with the federal deficit.
Social Security funds itself. Those that say otherwise have a hidden agenda or are ignorant of the facts.
It is easy for everyone who wants to know the truth about Social Security to simply read the Trustees Report.
“The Social Security program provides workers and their families with retirement, disability, and survivors insurance benefits. Workers earn these benefits by paying into the system during their working years. Over the program's 80-year history, it has collected roughly $19.0 trillion and paid out $16.1 trillion, leaving asset reserves of more than $2.8 trillion at the end of 2015 in its two trust funds.”
