State Representative Bridget Kosierowski: Social Security for countless families across this country is not just a government program– it is a lifeline. It is one of the most vital sources of income for retirees, people with disabilities, survivors of deceased loved ones.
Americans paid for this retirement program over their whole lives.
Not really a government program either. They just manage what we paid in to support current retires with the plan that our children and grandchildren would support us. But, WE PAID IN!
Ok, more speeches and talk. Got it. What are BOTH D’s and R’s actually DOING to ensure the solvency of SS? There are solutions to this. Yet, nobody on EITHER side has the balls to fix it. Get back to me when this is fixed. Otherwise, it’s just more jaw jacking. 70 million folks are waiting on this.
It’s worth remembering that many retirees aren’t just financially stretched—they’re also facing social isolation and stigma, especially those living in unconventional situations like RVs glassalmanac.com/retirees-liv.... Social Security is a lifeline, but broader social support is just as important.
Let's be clear. It's money earned by working and set aside by the government. It's not an entitlement.
And it’s OUR MONEY!
