233 Members of Congress Just Voted to Steal Social Security’s $2.9 Trillion Surplus

233 Members of Congress Just Voted to Steal Social Security’s $2.9 Trillion Surplus

(Washington, DC) — The following is a statement from Nancy Altman, President of Social Security Works, in reaction to nearly every Republican member of the House of Representatives, as well as seven Democrats, voting for a Constitutional amendment requiring that all annual revenue and spending balance every year:

“Every pay period, starting with our first jobs, America’s workers contribute to Social Security. The program uses those funds to pay all benefits and related administrative costs. Social Security does not add even a penny to the deficit, as Republican President Ronald Reagan so clearly stated when he was president.

When Social Security runs a surplus, Social Security holds the funds in trust. Social Security currently has a $2.9 trillion accumulated surplus. In the guise of a so-called balanced budget amendment, 233 members of the House of Representatives just voted to pretend that the accumulated surplus does not exist.

Ninety-seven percent of Republicans just voted to steal those past contributions. They voted, in effect, to not pay back hardworking Americans when those funds will be needed to pay their earned benefits. (Ninety-six percent of Democrats voted to honor their commitment to the American people.)

That 233 politicians would vote to steal this money is shameful. It helps explain the low regard the American people have for Congress. Fortunately for Social Security beneficiaries, the amendment did not attain the two-thirds majority required to pass the House. But those who voted for it are now on the record in support of stealing the American people’s earned Social Security benefits.”

What were they going to do with the surplus? Divide it between themselves?

There are over 100 trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities.

give it to Israel?

You can see the financial depression coming, this is a act of desperation over a problem that began in the early 70s.

Last March congress passed a provision which forms a committee which would use federal funds to bail out as many as 200 “multi-employer” pension plans – where employers and labor unions jointly provide retirement benefits to employees. As is often the case, this rescue “plan” is too little too late. The US pension system is beyond repair. And if you’re depending on pension income to carry you through retirement, it’s time to consider a Plan B.

Before going into details, let's analyze. Pensions are simply giant pools of capital used to pay out benefits to workers. Typically, employers and employers contribute a percentage of their salary to a pension throughout their career. Then, upon retirement, the pension is supposed to pay a constant fixed monthly amount to the retiree. (the last year of employment working overtime, getting higher pay and so forth is often used to drastically increase this fixed pension amount to defraud the system). There are government and corporate pension plans, there is a estimated 1,400 multi-employer corporate pension plans who are facing a $553 billion shorffall, 25% of these corporate pensions are in the 'red zone', meaning they are scheduled to file for bankruptcy within this decade or so, but Congress appointed committee, assuming it will work, would not even rescue these red zone pension plans, much less the remaining 1050 private pension plans.

All of this doesn't even begin to address the real fundamental problem - the $7 trillion funding gap faced by the government own PUBLIC pensions. Congress is stepping in because the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is the pension equivalent to the Federal Deposist Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which backs people their bank deposists up to $250,000 is completely insolvent. Yes, they are bankrupt and can not back pensions at all. In essence we are seeing the end-game of a pension ponzi scheme.

The PBGC only covers Corporate pensions and had a $76 billion deficit in 2017, it has assets of $108 billion on it's books compared to a potential loss exposure of more then $250 billion. By PBGC own estimations, it's fund to cover multi-employer pensions (which makes up $65 billion of the outstanding $533 defecit) will be insolvent by 2025. Pensions are in such bad shape today for the simple reason that investment returns are too low and the mismanagement and fraud has had detrimental effects, pensions can no longer cover their future obligations.

There’s zero chance these funds will be able to pay out retirement benefits. They’re taking huge risks at all-time highs and they have zero downside protection (the PGBC is broke). It’s smart to consider some other options like a self-directed IRA with precious metals you hold in your possession, solo 401(k) are also a option but beware that Obongo tried to seize these 401k's during the 2008 crisis and nationalize all of them into a slush fund and use the main funds to bail out the banks and then continue with a facade that people would be able to get their money with limitation on withdrawal options. Perhaps a SEP IRA is also a solution. All of these allow you significant latitude in making better, safer and stronger investments, rather then leaving a crook to manage your future. Plus, they allow you to put more money away toward retirement before taxation occurs. And there’s no downside to that. You’ve got make long-term plans for retirement, but the system they tell you to trust is officially broken.

Yellow jackets go through a yearly behavior cycle.
Early in the year they gather pollen, nectar, and small insects.
As the seasons progress, they become ever increasingly aggressive.
By the end of summer, their diet is primarily meat and protein.
By fall, the hive turns on itself. Larvae are no longer cared for, brood mates fight each other, and the queens disperse.
The queens look for highly insulated, undisturbed locations to hibernate through the winter.
The following spring beings with the queens waking from their hibernation to repeat the cycle anew.

As says, this is the sign of end times.
The people that approved this action view it as the only way to extend the lifespan of a dying system.
We must be vigilant. The queens will exist after the fall.

Interestingly enough, the humble Mason Bee is the most effective deterrent.
These solitary bees emerge from hibernation before the queen yellow jackets.
Their vigorous activity in early spring disrupts the yearly nesting ritual of the yellow jacket queen.
These bees also prefer not to sting, but they do bite.

Mostly quiet thread but for fools. Get back to me when you figure out national socialism.

… Why should I care?

The reason I ask is, Social Security will not exist by the time I'm old enough to receive it. Its just a matter of the numbers - they don't stack up.
I've known as much since high school, and now, in my early 30's, its only more obvious.


Also this.


You are a fool.
You don't understand at all.

Pouting over strife of the many and their keepers? You are a child.
Do you even know what Mein Kampf means? It means My Struggle. That's the key.

Do you know why the 'NPCs' went to 'sleep'?
Comfort.
Comfort breeds apathy, nihilism, narcissism.
Comfort is the 'sleep' you describe, the comfort to not pay attention, to not even care enough to do that much, to drown oneself in materialism, cummies and self-aggrandizement.
With comfort, did the keepers put the masses to slumber… And now you would argue against the necessary introduction of discomfort, which might awaken them from their stasis?

Do you care to provide anymore details OP? This website is the type of site lemmings post on social media to virtue signal against whichever party they dislike. I want to know what they were going to do with that money, and the other contents of the bill. Stealing the surplus from social security would be top-tier jewry, but for some reason I doubt that even politicians would be so brazen as to just take it with no strings attached.

There's that number again.
Pure coincidence, amirite?

I'm surprised it took this long for them to figure out a way to steal that money (which doesn't actually exist). Whatever. Jews swindle, their pet goyim revel in the filth, thinking they're in control. The solution to our problems starts with killing every last kike, then deporting the niggers and spics, then sterilizing the more retarded whites. Following that, we strike without mercy at overseas enemies, notably Religion of Cuck™, and invest heavily in space colonization.

In 100 years, we can have O'Neill cylinders orbiting the Sun and an active construction industry in the Jovian system churning out more by the day. A century after that, our fusion-powered colony ships whites only could be setting off for nearby star systems to reproduce our Kardashev-II civilization. In 1 million years, assuming no technologies more exotic than fusion and ion drives, our remote descendants will be setting up shop in the last uncolonized solar system in the galaxy and sending off mega-arks toward M31 and M33.

Fuck Social Security. It's for Mexicans and illiterates who can't plan more than one beer run into the future at a time.

No, I did not.
I wasn't born when this was already becoming an issue.

No, 'the rest' will be struggling to survive in the economic wasteland created by the apathetic people who retain some hope of suckling off the state teat when they become older and infirm.
Many of these people don't even have children to care for them.
They'll wind up in nigger-run and spic-overseen retirement homes.

And you want to tell me that I signed this course? No, no, you slippery dim-wit, not at all - its the people whom this actually poses some threat to who set that course.
Me? Shit son, I've known since I was a child that there would be no social security for me, that the men in power didn't care to run the numbers - or rather, didn't care about the output - as to ensure my future in such capacity. I never had a say in the matter.

But you know who did?
The people who came before me, those who will become 'elderly' in my lifetime. Those who still hold out some hope of having those gibs offered them by the state.
They created a mess, overcome with apathy, nihilism, narcissism and, generally, comfort, and now, they're upset that the mess they made might interfere with their retirement on the states' dime, and that's my fault?
Hah, no.

The elderly will be cared for as-able. But the idea that i'll shed tears for their loss of free state money in old age, a loss grounded in their own poor judgement, will not be laid at my feet, kamerad.


And you continue to be a fool, with nothing but empty words and a sorely lacking understanding of the man whose image you post.

Bro, if you didn't work at Taco Bell, and you're still reliant on Social Security, you did it wrong.

What fantasy? We can start on this now, using technology we already have. The hurdle is expending fuel to reach escape velocity, which is an issue until we can build the colony structures with material mined from asteroids or boosted out of Jupiter's moons. Once we're building with materials we harvest from low-gravity worlds, we don't have to fight terrestrial gravity anymore and building a trillion orbiting habitats becomes easier than paving the Interstate was.

After we get hydrogen fusion working, we don't even need the Sun anymore and can colonize fucking crazy volumes of space. With reasonably realistic ion propulsion systems, we can gently accelerate to around 10 percent of light speed. Neither of these technologies is further away from us than space flight was from the Wright brothers.

Your entire thing there is fantasy m8, and dangerous.

I'm not saying the science isn't there to make it possible, I'm saying that to get to that point you've got probably a century worth of cleanup down here before that would, in any non-delusional sense, be even remotely feasible.

I mean, lad, you can't even get your own country to stop dumping billions into niggers at this point, and you are fantasizing about space colonization - which, while a pretty fantasy, is just that: a fantasy… and a dangerous one.
I think you're maybe White, maybe White-ish, but you're living in a dream and vitriolically oppose anyone who points as much out to you, it would seem.

There is a significant difference between 'planning ahead' and 'pretending in 100 years we'll be colonizing the Jovien system'.

You don't have any argument.
You know that what I've said, about your statements being fantastical and outright hazardous, is true.
Further, your argumentation when presented with such truth was entirely disingenuous and cowardly, unable or unwilling to face reality and responding with vitriol when reality is forced upon you.

Call me when you've exterminated the Rajivs of the world; hell, when you've even gotten to a point wherein you can functionally convince your people to invest in themselves, their futures, in space and beyond, instead of dumping the billions of dollars/hours of manpower you'd need to achieve your fantasy into holes full of worthless mud - until then, all your talk is empty, toothless.

Flowers grow where the rain falls.

Empty words.
We need more than words, more than fantasies.
And only discomfort will create it.
You know I am right.

Don't be, it's controlled opposition, with maybe a half dozen of those who truly opposed this action. Regular programming for those who've watched Congress for a few terms.

And what about when the reverse happens, because it does happen. Social security from one generation's payment never pays for that generation when they retire. This surplus is most likely the children or grand children's money that is now being claimed as "MINE!" by elderly people now.

That's the point, if you are not making it so in the flesh, why are you here? Deep love is hard for many to grasp and not be afraid of. It seems shaped like hate because of that.

You are 100% correct. I've found it impossible to argue with hobbyists who live in a fantasy world. I don't hate them because they will side with you when push comes to shove; because even they are somewhat aware of how far out their ideas are; but they'll viciously attack any realistic plans put forth.

You're seriously delusional. None of this will ever happen until we exterminate all jews and BEGIN to exterminate the other non-white races.

This may take a certain individual shaped a certain way. My main failure is overestimating everyone around me. This frustration colors a bit of my life but will never be the guide. One has to come to accept that not everyone is shaped like you in the head. It's kept me much healthier.

This is confusing because as far as I can tell, Regan looted the Social Security pot in the early 80's to pay for his big spending programs.

Its been broke since then, not sure how we got a "surplus" this smells like bait???

I don't think exterminating non-whites should be a main goal. There's still some use in them for resources and slave labor, as opposed to a war that would take billions of dollars. It makes more sense to just befriend them and let them slowly die out as we take their territory for resources and lebensraum. It seems like our immediate goal should be implementing a National Socialist government that can protect our race. Then we need to provide for the long-term security of our government. Then we need to begin building our countries up. Once we've fulfilled the 14 words there really isn't any urgency in a global racewar; it's almost more fantastical than colonizing space just because it's less of an investment in the future.

I mean I appreciate the enthusiasm, but National Socialism has always been more about love of your race than the destruction of others.

None of this happens until jews are exterminated.
Maybe that's why it failed. It left jews alive. You have no argument.

Aside from the costs of operating a bloated, omnipresent bureaucracy.

Social security is a scam. When's the last time it was even adjusted for cost-of-living/CPI/inflation increases? The entire thing needs to be scrapped. Governments should not be in the retirement business.

It doesn't, but there are lots of things that exist that aren't in the Constitution.

And… so you just ACCEPT this state of affairs?

What's not to accept?

>>>/suicide/

Gas yourself, kike.

So, let's look at the concrete, objective, factual truth.

Republicans vote to not give extra gibs. Democrats do. That is not a surprise. Moreover, the money will not be taken from the Social Security, but will act like a buffer. This is the concrete, factual, objective truth.

This thus seems to be the case of kikes manipulating people by means of subjective feelings and emotions. The kikes seem to try and trigger a reaction something like this:

,,Those darn Republicans stealing my money (the useless (this is concretely, factually, objectively true) boomers are really set on doing absolutely nothing and getting a lot of gibs). Let's vote Democrat.''

This seems to be a kike propaganda move in lead up to mid term elections. Like I always say, kikes know how to manipulate with subjective, emotional feelings, but when one sticks to the concrete, objective, factual truth, one is invincible.

Communism is believing that the state as no obligation to its citizens. That makes you the Communist, friend, since you refuse to give back to the hard working people.

Your main failure is not understanding reality then. Underestimations and over-estimations come from a lack of understanding and accepting the real world. You haven't accepted the material in front of you as being concrete and immutable, and cause yourself distress over it.

This is why big empires always collapse from multiculturalism. The mere presence of other peoples is a poison to the whole. There can be no coexistence.

Reported for not even trying.

Yep, you're from Zig Forums.

...

They stay outside of our country obviously. Outside of stuff like embassies and businessmen our countries should be 100% white. Japan and Korea seem like good people to befriend for the sake of technology and trade. Persians and Arabs seem like good allies in our war against ZOG. Africans and spics are completely harmless unless whites/kikes actively instigate them into fighting us. Jews are the only race which we have any real urgency to annihilate. Although we'll inevitably need to fight with them for land and resources at some point. Why do so many Zig Forumsacks complain when I say something that virtually the entire NSDAP supported?


Good luck with that, champ. You're sure going to get a lot of support advocating for the genocide of billions at the expense of your own people's prosperity.

Oh wow, you must have been really mad every other time they did this.

Because there are a lot of shitskins, slanty eyes, niggers, etc, in originally huwhite nations. How can you kick those lesser races out when still trying to befriend them? That is concretely, factually, objectively impossible.

WHAT PSYOP ARE YOU PEDDLING, KIKE?

Because an appeal authority means fuckall, especially when the NSDAP was completely destroyed largely because of it's own stupid decisions.

The fact is an enemy is not defeated until it is dead and gone.

But but but but but but goyim don't you want to ENSLAVE them and KEEP them alive?!

NO NO NO. NO FUCKING SLAVES. THAT'S HOW WE GOT IN THIS MESS TO BEGIN WITH

That is already a very bad idea. Poo in the loos already inundated the IT field (with slave labour jobs with anything computer related), Niggers and Spics are moving up from flipping burgers and mowing lawns to now managers and supervisory positions, and the millions of college grads will forever be looking for work and/or working as interns making 0 dollars. Trades are now becoming flooded since everything is taken over by minorities. We need automated robots to take our shit jobs and anyone that doesn't belong here needs to go back to their fucking shit hole of a country. Only extend foreign aid when the locals want to self improve their society and not beg for gibs and free hand outs from us.

The what?

I don't even know what you just said.

This is why I'm against it. I don't want to pay into something that I'm never going to benefit from. In fact, I wouldn't want to pay into it anyway- I believe that SS is fundamentally a bad idea, and that we should all manage our own private retirement plan.

That and the fact that the people benefiting from SS now were paying into it when the economy was great, they had a ton of purchasing power, jobs grew on trees, etc. If we're going to abolish SS at some point, which is inevitable, it had better be now because the people that are of age to receive it now (boomers) are the least deserving and the least in need. And 14 words-wise, it doesn't make sense to extort money from younger white people that need that precious resource to start families, and give it to older white people that aren't procreating anymore so they can blow it all away at the casino.

The context nowadays is completely different. In NatSoc times, the only non-whites in Germany were Jews and gypsies. They did not have swarms of Arabs gang-raping 6 year olds. The amount of justified hatred we have for the other races today is like nothing that has ever been seen before. There is no precedent for the current situation- this is a uniquely apocalyptic scenario, and the only appropriate response is to be uniquely wrathful. Fuck all of this "blahblahblah I love everyone no hate blahblahblah" nonsense. Yes, it is LARPing to think that white nations are going to go around carpet bombing dindu slums, but all of the non-whites in our countries deserve a most terrible fate.

It's supposedly a super secret video of Hillary cutting a kid's face off and wearing it. So super secret that nobody actually has it and no relevant screenshots have surfaced. Judging by how hard it's being pushed I assume the whole thing is being cooked up by the CIA for whatever reason.

I'm as NatSoc as anyone can be but Social Security is just about the worst possible way to address the issue of preserving the dignity of those who are too old (or injured/disabled in the case of SSDI) to provide for themselves. Not only has it been so mismanaged that it has become nothing but a source of wealth transfer from the native young to the elderly and ghoe who never paid into the system, it's also largely responsible for the complete collapse of intergenerational households and partially responsible for the decline in white birthrates.

People will always prefer to stay in their own home and as long as Grandma and Grandpa keep receiving that check, they will prefer to keep up with the monthly costs of owning the homes your parents grew up in until it becomes physically impossible to do so. Rather than sell that asset to enable reinvestment of time and money into the needs of younger family members, they'll sit in their recliners watching the TV until their minds have turned to complete mush. Once rhat happens, the younger family members are forced to sell the house to cover the costs of assisted living since the mental decline brought on by a lack of socialization and mental stimulation leaves the average person unable to adequately care for their elders. At that point, that SS check (along with the proceeds from the sale of the home) just goes into the financial black hole that is propping up our mentally decayed  loved ones until they die afraid and likely alone in a strange place.

There's also the problem of changing the answer to the question of "who will take care of you in your old age?" from "your children and grandchildren" with "the government". The typical couple that believes in the church of being "childfree" will absolutely scoff at the notion of having children to ensure they will be cared for in their later years despite that being the only true guarantee of comfort in their sunset years. This effect is a minor one in the greater scope of problems causing the decline in white birthrates but this complete rejection of the natural system of elder care is also one of the primary tenets of faith for those who are vociferously against having children.

We must protect and care for our people but we must ensure the policies through which we provide the means of protection and care also allow for our people to adhere to the natural order of things. Social Security does not allow for that and in fact discourages adherance to the natural progression of intergenerational responsbilities, thus I give zero fucks about things which jeapordize its existence.
