Loved your attack on the counterfeiting operation of the Fed. The Fed is responsible for the redistribution of wealth to those favored clients of the government. It is unjust and unfair and is the ultimate tool of the money power. You are also correct to say “We are entitled to Social Security and Medicare, we were forced to pay a whole lot of money into the system.” The American people were scammed by a giant ponzi scheme by the fraudsters in the USG. The unfunded liabilities in Social Security and Medicare run into trillions and trillions of dollars and make the National Debt look like a hangnail by comparison. Yes, the American Empire of bases should be dismantled, all the troops should be brought home, all foreign aid eliminated, and the budget of the Department of Offense should be cut first. None of this, however, will make Social Security or Medicare solvent. It is unfair, it is unjust, but Social Security and Medicare cannot be saved. The USG will default on it obligations to those who paid into Social Security and Medicare in the same dishonest and conniving way they concocted the massive ponzi scam, by massive monetary inflation.

I don't know if it can be saved, Ira. But they should at least try. Strict means testing. Taxing all income- not just the first $160,000. Thanks.

Spot on. I never ever, not in a million years, thought it would still be there when I turned 62. Therefore I consider it all gravy. I've been getting it since 2022. I only get $446. per month. My big cost of living increase for 2025, will be $10.
