Re: Why Is Social Security Always Threatened With Bankruptcy But Welfare Never Is?
The government profits from welfare, welfare is collected and managed by each state. But it is federally taxed, so the federal government gets a big payout. They more welfare, the more money the federal government gets.

Not so with social security. The federal government collects it, and manages the pay outs. So they have a big pile of money just sitting their begging to be exploited. And they have borrowed against it, as collateral, for billions of dollars. At a certain point, the interest payments on the debt becomes higher than the government can afford to pay. At that point, social security is insolvent.

As far as I can best determine, the Social Security Program costs the US government some $848.5 Billion per year...

 Quoting: Black Knight


Social Security is PAID FOR BY CONTRIBUTIONS by future recipients, it costs NOTHING from the General Fund. In FACT,, the SS trust fund has a SURPLUS of well over $2 billion.

Correct, but the government has borrowed against it for BILLIONS of dollars. That is what is threatening insolvency.

Wall street wants that social security money in the market, the banks want that money in their investment banks. They are manufacturing the problem so the money goes to the bankers and not the retirees.

The bankers oppose social security and they own the government.

Re: Why Is Social Security Always Threatened With Bankruptcy But Welfare Never Is?
Because welfare is used to control people, while Social Security is outright THEFT by the Scum That Be, who, back in the day, SWORE the Social Security trust fund would NEVER be pilfered or borrowed from.

They don't WANT people recoivering the money that they paid into SS, over their lifetime. They want them to die off, just as soon as they've outlived their usefulness.

But welfare? It's a solid means of totally controlling a person's life, and is a form of slavery. Even if the "slave" is not working, they are also not biting the hand that feeds them, and they are (of course) voting DemonRat.

Social Security is a program that collected deductions from our wages over the course of our working lifetimes and then pays us back. Welfare is a straight out handout, a free gift, a charity program. How is it then that as the sellout, scumbag politicians in DC run out of money all the time because they steal too much of it for themselves and are hard pressed to payout these two programs, that they can threaten Social Security with bankruptcy, yet they never do the same for Welfare?

Why are we Americans ok with that? Why are we still electing the same old useless bags of crap year after year ? Why are these people not behind bars?

They are making money off the welfare sector.
Those who pile it on that sector do so to make money off of it.
It helps the heavy ones get voted in, no matter how many citizens say and shout to them that they are too heavy to keep and want them thrown them out by their vote.
Welfare votes them in and they know it and rig it for it.

Not to mention that illegals and the employers who hire illegals aren't paying into the system ...X how many illegal workers over the decades?

In the case of illegal workers/employers, one might as well accept that SS funds are being sent to Mexico and the Vatican rather than placed in the trust.

When current workers are supposed to replenish SS monies (as current and soon-to-be retirees did when THEY worked) it's just another reason why ever rising numbers of illegals is a huge problem.

SS is not "paying in" to anything. Its the same money as welfare but is just given a different name. Its money that is taken from one person and given to another. It all comes from the same general fund.

Good questions OP. More specifically, why are so many on GLP still lining up to vote within the two-party system each Election Day? Granted, the Democrats are not a viable choice, but you won't have difficulty finding GLPers who line up to vote for the Dems' "Republican" cousins.

And please don't give me this shit about voting for third parties being equivalent to wasting a vote. Vote for people who can get the job done, who reflect values of humanity and justice and compassion, end of story!

If the USA survives at all, it will be because the people boycotted the two major parties entirely and elected representatives who had no connection whatsoever to the previous ruling regime, no trace of satanic/masonic influence, no debts owed to goons from the two-party system era.

This is a critical point my friend, thank you for making it. The State of Decay in America has two worthless, sellout asshole "parties" that are in actuality nothing but two turds, one stinking and the other smelling badly. Until the masses choose anything else the corruption is accepted by the people and cannot go away. We have been given an opportunity to see what a third party president would look like in Donald Trump and so far it is unclear as to whether it will be accepted to play our or not. In either case it is best in a growing number of minds to shitcan the elephants and the donkeys and grind their carcasses into dog food.

Even a man that is pure of heart and says his prayers at night, may become a wolf when the Wolfbane blooms and the Autumn moon is bright. The US system has devolved into a farce where in order to get into office in the first place humans with no character, scruples, or morality are required to sell out, lie, and cheat their way into office. Trusting thieves and criminals of this sort with the lifesavings of an entire generation is folly. There can be NO solution to this problem but collapse.
