This article explains my previous post about reducing Social Security is theft from ordinary, working-class folks. However, the headline does get something wrong. Social Security is not a benefit and should not be viewed as such. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

The Social Security benefit cliff is here. Washington is struggling to wake up.
