I've read many times that Social Security was never meant to be a sole retirement fund, and that it's not self-sustaining.
Yet it has become the de facto retirement for millions of people, and for people depending on it to augment whatever other retirement they might have.
So making the benefits 'tax free' looks good, but other cuts down the road will significantly outweigh this minuscule offering.
Now, to avoid actual government wasteful spending, the Federal Government could completely cut benefits to The Rich.
To be fair, previous administrations could have done so, but didn't.
But there's no way in Hell this administration would ever even consider it.
It'd be great to see a journalist ask CFDT 'Why not cut off benefits to The Rich' and watch him protest 'targeting hard working people who are equally deserving...' BS.
Of course instead of cutting benefits to those who actually earned them, he could just raise the eligibility age to 80.
It doesn't matter if his EOs are illegal, since nothing he does as Prez is illegal.
By the time it's settled in court, he gets the nod, and if he doesn't, it's too late anyway.
We're all in this together.
Till we're not.
