I talk this way often because Trump is all over the map on Social Security. He talks about it along with Medicare and Medicaid claiming that re-mapping it will save millions in tax dollars. He is back and forth with this and apparently does not care that many of us would have no income without it and also have no place to go. Let's face facts here. Early 401 K's are not an answer for everything that Social Security does. The program is separate from other government programs and is funded by payroll deductions from working people. Idiots often want to balance the budget using Social Security. This is plain out wrong. Men, women, and children will suffer and some have no place to go.

@DenoPenno I have not studied the history but I believe social security was set up so it was not part of the "budget". It was never intended to be just an additional tax for the working class. I believe that thinking was how they sold it in the first place. Politicians are good at keeping people from knowing the truth. That's what makes "Truth social" one of the most ironically named mouth pieces I can imagine. Eliminating social security or even reducing it could be the last straw for many people. With more and more jobs becoming automated there is going to have to be something to replace lost income. Who is going to pay for everything if it is mostly done by an automated mechanisms?

@PaddyO We will need a UBI, like Wang proposed in his last presidential run, and it will have to be financed by taxing the shit out of the billionaires who have gotten rich by automating and outsourcing jobs overseas, as well as busting unions..
