Got The Bases Covered From The Middle To The Far Right

      The Senate Finance Committee has scheduled a hearing for June 24 on The Future of Social Security. There are two scheduled witnesses, Shai Akabas, who has testified at a prior Congressional hearing recommending large benefit cuts as well as tax increases, and Elizabeth Milito, who is active in the right wing Federalist Society.

  1. they need to do something. Cutting benefits for bigger familiies is a good start. They did not pay any more ino the system that smaller families.

  2. Sure, sounds reasonable. I'm sure people with bigger families won't mind having to decide which of their children has to go without food that day.

  3. They might be able to do it on a case-by-case basis. Elon Musk has 14 kids. I'm completely on board with scrapping his dependent children benefits.

  4. You have to wonder who posted the comments above. Is it AI fighting AI? Anybody who knows much about Social Security knows that family benefits are capped. If a father dies, no more is paid if he leaves behind three children than if he leaves behind one.
