SAVING SOCIAL SECURITY SIMPLIFIED

The Trustees Report came out again this week.

And all the newspeople told us again that we are doomed. Doomed.
"Social Security is running out of money!"

Except it isn't.

And all the Professional Defenders of Social Security rushed out to
tell us, "We can save Social Security: just make the rich pay for it!"

Except they won't.

And they really shouldn't. And we shouldn't want them to. Most
workers understand that Their Social Security is Their money. They
paid for it. They need to know that IT'S NOT WELFARE.

But all the paid experts and politicians, and all the high end
newssources can only think in terms of welfare. So the Bad Cop says
we got to cut it. And the Good Cop says we got to make the rich pay
for it.

But actually all we really need to do is just pay for it ourselves...
as we always have.

It wont cost much. An additional 40 cents per week each year will
pay for the whole "shortfall."
