Listening to the people is the first step in a long road to success; congratulations. If I may, let me begin. I have a nice and livable retirement, yet so many do not. I see seniors every month having to make tough choices about whether to purchase food or medicine, pay the rent, or pay supplemental medical insurance. Our government gives away billions of dollars every year to countries that should be weaned off the tit by now. The United States pays for those who don’t want to work, stay at home, have children, and have the federal government subsidize their way of life. This is a handout, not a handup. May I propose two things? First, if you receive assistance, you must succumb to a physical and mental exam; passing both will allot you (6) months of financial help. After that, it’s time to stand on your own two feet. I express this point to make another. By saving on handouts, loans to other countries that will never pay it back, and just cash assistants to countries that by now in the 21st century should be self-sufficient. Why could the Federal Government allow anyone who wishes to invest in 401ks or Roth IRAs outside of the Social Security system to do so? This would insure a sustainable retirement over a long career for financial stability in their golden years. For those who already receive Social Security, why should you not reimburse the system that has been pilfered over many years and make a beginning blanked baseline of $2,500.00 per month with absolute free life-staining medications (maintains medications) so these seniors may live out the remainder of their days in some sort of dignity? As well as using section 8 housing (refurbished) for those who have spent a lifetime working and paying into the system? Just my two cents. Regards, Robert
It is even worse. I get 900 a month so I took a job to keep a roof over my head. Then I got a bill for 5,000 something because they said they paid me too much and I need to pay it back. Took a loan out paid it back then after a year, they added it back on my account without any notice to me. I am not allowed a hearing unless they do an accounting first. I have waited years for an accounting and their is no ssa office in this country that can call one of the centers that do the accounting all they can do are emails. I had the supervisor tell me she sees they have taken almost 2,000 so far that I do not owe but nothing she can do but to send another email. I have given up hope of ever stopping this insanity. My rights violated given zero recourse for legal theft of my money of which every penny matters. Even disability can have an attorney but nothing for me who worked and paid into it. no help and no justice.
