Social Security - How Long Till it Collapses?
The latest news is that the United States government wants to give illegal
aliens the right to become citizens and allow them to collect social security
after working eighteen months (compared to the rest of us who have to work ten
years before collecting).
I don’t know about you, but that makes me mad. Why do I have to put in for
a minimum of ten years and these people who can here illegally might be able
to collect after working only eighteen months?Social security is already very
unstable. Adding all these other millions of people who did not pay into the
system all of their working years will only make social security topple over
faster, if our government gets their way.
I hope people fight this. It just does not make sense, unless the government’s
goal is to destroy social security and bring this country down. Imagine if you
worked hard all your life, paid into a system that was supposed to provide for
you after you retired, and suddenly that money is gone. What would you do?
You would be in big financial trouble. You might even be willing to let the
government take over everything if they would take care of you. Perhaps that
is what big government plans on happening.
Let’s hope not, but would it really surprise you if that was their plan? What
do you think? Do you have an opinion on this? Please feel free to leave a comment
about why you think the government would give social security to illegal aliens
after they have paid into the system for as little as eighteen months.
Give me some reasons to hope that our government has not turned against us.
In the meantime, I am not counting on getting any social security benefits
when we hit retirement age in another 15 years. My husband and I are planning
ahead and expect to have enough money set aside to cover our retirement years.
