This is the narrative that liberal politicians and mainstream media have been pushing for almost a year (they even had a plan to do it themselves). In reality, that phrase has been nothing more than a scare tactic to turn America’s most vulnerable population, senior citizens, into political pawns.

Entirely funded through payroll taxes, building a strong social security system relies on creating a robust economy. Putting Americans back to work and providing opportunities for better pay and less taxes, is a winning combination for SS recipients.
