I Hope It Was Fake News

United States
September 3, 2020 11:25am CST
Early this morning, I read about Social Security might get cut off. I thought, if any truth to this, what will older people do. It troubled me so much, I started praying for all the people who receives it. So much is happening. This is one time, I hope its fake.

Since I'm on Social Security and it's my only income outside of what I earn here every month, I looked it up and saw what President Trump proposes regarding Social Security. It looks like it's safe for the time being, but change is in the air.

@just4him My son says that social security won't be there for him. That is sad because he pays into it. He won't get anything out of it.

He signed a bill to stop collecting for SS in the payroll tax. If congress and the senate did not steal the money (they call it borrowing and throw in an IOU but never intend to pay it back) the fund would not be in danger. We paid into it for many years.

@akalinus Yes, we did. We're entitled to that money. If Congress and the Senate approve seniors won't have anything to live on when they retire unless they earn enough to invest for their later years.

I'm not where you are but I watch international news religiously! I've not heard anything about this, so I'm inclined to believe it's fake news.

@akalinus Hey, Jo Ann! I feel like I've not seen you for ages. Hope you've been well and safe? Yeah, news coming out of America every day would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

Hi, good to see you here. The US news is just brimming with good stuff. It is like watching a circus. You don't know where to look first because there is so much going on.

Of course that would be bogus. The senior citizens would be at a great loss not only the workers and the employees.

Uh, if your lawmakers decide to stop payroll taxes, there will be no more social security, it's true. I can't imagine anyone voting in legislators and a president who want to do that. I'm not voting for him, let's put it that way.

The president signed a bill to that effect. He thinks we can all run out and get jobs.

I heard that it would be cut off in two years. There would be a lot of homeless old people on the streets and no food for them. That would be very sad with people dying in the streets.

It's fake news. Save your prayers for real happenings.
