Rep. Krishnamoorthi on why Social Security is not going to be 'insolvent' as Rep. Donalds says



Social Security is not going to be ‘insolvent’ as Rep. Byron Donalds told Joy Reid on The ReidOut. Rep. Krishnamoorthi explains to Joy, "Look at last year. The S&P was down 20 percent. Just imagine if we had invested that Social Security trust fund in the stock market in any given year, and you experience that type of loss." - The ReidOut - MSNBC - Aired on 01/11/2023.

...... don't pay Social Security taxes. Raise the level to $500,000 or $1,000,000,000 if necessary to keep SS solvent.

Make the rich pay their fair share, period.

I've always thought it was stupid to cut it off so low.

Of course, any effort to change that would be beaten down by the wealthy.

Insolvency is a daydream for pukes, as they imagine all of our $$$ flowing into their pockets!

No thanks!
