The policy is asinine on multiple levels, starting with flushing down the toilet all of the financial planning those paying into the system reasonably relied. Hey Torie, we find the SS program is underfunded, so we are slashing your check in half. Have a nice day. Too bad Congresspersons are not part of the SS system. Another approach is to slash medicare, so geezers die sooner. That will help improve solvency a lot on both fronts.
You're getting exactly what you spent several decades of your life voting for and are now only upset about because it's affecting you.
Giving one the benefit of the doubt just isn't your style I see. But if you want to slash SS to punish me go for it.
