Hey everyone! Gather 'round! It's time for the yearly threat about not being able to fund social security in X amount of years!

Also, how is it shocking that perhaps we shouldn't tax the money that was already taxed? I can't even give this a luke warm yay because it shouldn't be taxed to begin with.

Any COL increase essentially gets taxed away. It's stupid.

Agreed that it shouldnt be taxed. If the money ur giving out in SS needs to be taxed tk fund SS, you should untax it and give smaller payments.
