A couple of months ago, Wisconsin state Rep. Mark Pocan told us Social Security is 'our f***ing money' -- money we only get a fraction of after years of paying into the system.
Two decades ago, President Bush had a proposal that would have helped make Social Security more solvent, stronger, and more beneficial to Americans. Democrats thwarted that.
And now they're back to fear-monger on Social Security once again.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview that 'Trump accounts' created by the Big Beautiful Bill are a 'backdoor' way to privatize Social Security.
Tim Walz thinks that's a bad thing.
Take them at their word. https://t.co/ac5HmFGGoU

Spoiler alert, Timmy: it's a good thing.
Man I hope he’s telling the truth

Heh.
Tell you what? Give me what I paid and let me invest my own d**n money.

Mark Pocan said it's ours.
Why can't we?
I sure hope so. I would have so much more retirement under the Bush plan and SocSec would have another 10-20,years of solvency.

But Bush was literally Hitler, too.

Social Security will be no more unless something changes. What will you buy votes with then?
Excellent question.
Social Security is a giant Ponzi scheme used by Congress. It never set aside the money you paid into it for your retirement or disability. There was never a Social Security Lockbox. The age to collect it was set to 65 because that was the average life expectancy. https://t.co/XfYSBl8WVl

All of this.
I wish I could, but I’m not holding my breath.

We’ve openly been advocating for phasing out SS for young people & offering actual voluntary diverse retirement accounts for decades.
Meanwhile, cranks like Tim want to continue the mandatory, monopolized, broke Ponzi Scheme. https://t.co/gRYMTfJqaI
Because it buys him votes and gives him power and control.
Their Plan B is to seize private retirement accounts when Social Security goes belly up.
Tim tweeted this like it's a bad thing.

Take what you pay into Social Security over your lifetime. Assume it's invested in the S&P 500. Do that math, then tell me you're better off with the current system over privatization. https://t.co/Y1d3PZ09bc
We are not better off with the current system.
Great. This should have happened 20 years ago (or more). The program is unsustainable and offers a horrible return to people who pay the social security tax. https://t.co/xlCVYjTDDG

The horrible returns are the point.
Say, Gov. Walz, would this be the correct occasion to bring up the poor performance and bad fiscal health of the state pension funds? https://t.co/t800l2I1XM

It sure would be.
American workers should have the option to opt out of Social Security. Otherwise politicians will continue to steal our money. https://t.co/br3ORGWdcb
