Yep, you heard it.
The title is sensational on purpose, but in the end, this is that's happening. What both Republicans and Democrats want to do, is reform Social Security so that only those who are deemed in need, get it.
So if you were a good steward of your capital, you get nothing. If you weren't, you get a pension from the government.
So, they are keeping Social Security in name, but it's no different then if they just got rid of the program and let welfare cover the elderly.
This is the quote from the House Minority Leader (a Republican):
"If you have substantial non-Social Security income while you're retired, why are we paying you at a time when we're broke?"
Still trust government with your money?
