    The word you are looking for is DEFAULT. The ruling class if floating the idea of defaulting on social security in 2032.

    They borrowed (stole) the extra that was paid in, with the promise of paying it back when needed. Now that the bill is due, they want to default.

    They have money to bail out the rich to the tune of trillions, tens of trillions between it all not even including the fed and their hocus pocus to subsidize the richest. But they can’t save the post office they sabotaged, nor do they have the cash to pay their debts to retirees, the ones that also paid those goddamned subsidies to the rich and corporate welfare and bailouts. The rich don’t even pay taxes, and the corporations pay way lower rates than we do, even before their write offs which brings most of theirs down to 0%.

    They sabotage it and use that as an excuse to further sabotage it to privatize it more and charge us more for less. They did the same thing with social security.

    Say no to the government DEFAULTING on America!
