Think of all the merch they spent money on, too. Flags, hats, banners, etc etc etc.

Varies. Depends on how much you were making in the last years before retiring, I think. Also depends on when you take it. If you worked to max age until it stops accruing, you get more. If you take it early, less.

Your payout is based on total contributions over a lifetime. The amount you’re making right before you retire doesn’t affect your payments any more or less than contributions from your entire working life.

I know .. but, what if that is what someone is actually due based on their work, or non-work history? But mostly, it was a sarcastic MAGA comment. After all, I am against MAGA in all of its forms.

For those who have never paid into it. In red states, that will be a bunch of them.
