Finally someone stands up for common sense and is speaking out against the sleight-of-hand move by former government employees to receive not only a generous government pension at taxpayer expense but now also a higher percentage payout on their second-career Social Security income than what private sector employees receive after paying into Social Security for 35 or 40 years. This bill has been advertised as reversing an inequity, but in fact the existing legislation was designed to prevent inequity.
50 years, one can get permission to work here in PA at 15 years of age provided the school system allows one to. Paid in for 50 years and complained at the start of my employment about having to pay into Social Security while likely getting screwed when I turned 65 and if they do this 15 year old me was right.
Senator Chuck Grassley: "A shutdown of government is not good...A shutdown of government is bad." "Cutting Social Security benefits is not good...Cutting Social Security benefits is bad." 🙄🤨
So basically what they’re saying is if you are public servant, and the police force are fire department or a teacher who is an educator that you’re better than the rest of everybody on Social Security and that your job meant more than anybody else’s job. Who’s in Social Security benefit brackets? Honestly, I don’t know why they’re calling this a fairness act cause there’s nothing fair here for anyone else in the Social Security brackets they’ve done nothing for SSI. They’ve done nothing for the elderly. They have nothing for the disabled in the blind, but they sure as hell handed billions and billions of dollars to Ukraine and he sure is all handed billions and billions of dollars to illegal immigrants who came into this country, busting in and taking all the resources away from the lower income brackets, right Social Security has the money in the trust fund. They’re claiming there’s a depletion there’s not they’ve stolen the money and giving it to everyone else you can bank on that.
If you work a job and don't pay into SS you shouldn't get SS plain and simple. Why should SS be given to people who don't pay into it at all. They need to set adide their own money for their old age if they don't pay into SS. Make it simple everyone pay into SS. No wonder we are running out of money we are giving it to high oaying job people who never paid a dime into it. It is to be a saftey for us workers who have paid into it
Thank you. Most Seniors are already struggling just to survive (eat, have a residence, maintain hygiene, and receive life-preserving health care or end-of-life comfort care). 😔
He deserves to retire and enjoy his life without politics dominating his retirement time. God bless you Chuck 🙏. How’d your corn harvest go this year Mr. Grassley? Better than last year I hope..

Grassly , how are you going to pay for it ?
You all have spent my income tax money already !
Pension is not given hardly anymore only 401k's?
Which the oligarchs can dip into at any moment. Lost 35 thousand overnight when Enron tanked.
Nobody can double dip that way if
Not legal?
