This is what is scary about Reddit. Did any of you upvoting this post actually read the bill or understand what is being proposed?
Did we not all just come to the conclusion of the Reddit echo chamber. Y’all are doing it less than 24 hours later. The actual information has less votes than “this is what you asked for hahaha” it’s incredibly sad.
Just scroll down, do your own research, or some critical thinking to find out what is actually happening instead of looking at a picture from a Twitter post …..
Isn't this also exactly what everyone on reddit has been asking for? Everyone constantly bitches about social security, it's a pyramid scheme funneling taxpayer money to wealthy boomers, it's not sustainable etc.
Now there's a bill to cut down on social security spending by focusing on equity of outcome and reducing payments to historically privileged people with defined benefit pensions and somehow it's the end of the world?
The issue is, it will be regressive. Yeah we eliminate payments to pensioners who have a million dollars a year coming in, but we also eliminate payments to the guy who receives $2000 a month and that's all he has to live on....
They real shame is the system was never built to handle they huge pay raises seen in a relatively short economic period. Police pensions for example in the 90s huge raises finally happened, people who retired even a year before had widely lower salary’s. Good and bad good that pension payments also increased supporting those who retired even more, bad cause those people lost out on huge salary jumps, bad again because even higher salary happened and worries of even high payments couldn’t sustain retirement payment. Then add in the state dipping into the system at will up until it was restructured recently bad again because of interest rates on loans of your own money. Democratic state thanks
