Your absolutely right Harry..everything you said was fact....the average SS payment is a whopping 1100 a month...its not the SS recipients that worked and paid into SS thats breaking it....its all the freebies that have been added to it...
Spouses that never worked....children under 18 of a deceased parent....hes the one I love...If a man marries and remains married at one time it was just 9 months now I believe its two years..10 times...all 10 wives collect his social security...that is the kind of crap that has broken SS.
I was talking about SSI.
It's for people with disabilities, that haven't earned enough credits to qualify for disability.
Usually, that means people who have life long, inborn disabilities, that are uninsurable.
A great many of these people are on SSI, just for the Medicaid benefits because they have no other option.
Now I would totally support a UHC system for these people, but no one really cares about that stuff.
