Hilarious-- watch the camera operator's disgust as Senators talk about creating a new $1.5 trillion investment fund to save Social Security. Regular, working people understand that giving more money to the government doesn't solve anything. It's just a magnet for fraud.

A trillion here, a trillion there - then they wonder why people don’t trust it.

@PeterSchiff This is what 80% of the US thinks hearing this. Social Security is one of THE biggest scams of all time and they want to expand it. What a fucking joke. Stop electing morons, I beg you

He uses the word "invest" the way Dems use it Confiscate money from taxpayers Put it out of reach and control of the citizen Ensure Americans are on the hook for any mismanagement Create expectation of zero payback before 75 years

That is literally every american when the government wants more money.

@PeterSchiff Our failed politicians will now operate a hedge fund? Man we are in for a world of hurt.

prefunded with what 1.5T???? We're already 39T in debt

Alternatively, they can stop adding immigrants to the roles.

A trillion dollars here, a trillion dollars there. Pretty soon we’ll be talking about REAL money…

Here is the extensive list of things the Government has helped people with:

What happens to my social security benefit when AI eliminates 20% of the jobs. You don't pay SS taxes if you don't have a job.

First of all this is called the “PENSION OBLIGATION” scam They are turning a guaranteed social insurance program into a speculative hedge fund. ‼️🚨🚨🚨🚨⚠️⚠️ States like Illinois and New Jersey tried this. They borrowed billions to invest in the market hoping to beat the interest rates. Most of them lost massive amounts of money when the market crashed in 2008. They still had to pay back the bonds, but the pension funds were empty. This strategy has a proven track record of failure at the state level. Now scale it up to the federal level ($1.5 trillion) 🤦‍♀️ and the SCAM ‼️‼️he’s pitching General Revenue" is your income tax. It is the money used for defense, infrastructure, and healthcare. They are taking money from the general budget to prop up the Social Security budget. This means either higher income taxes or cuts to other services (Medicare, Defense) to pay for this "experiment." If the market crashes in years 1, 2, or 3 (which happens frequently), the fund loses value immediately.⚠️⚠️⚠️ The money is "escrowed for 75 years." You cannot "buy the dip" because the money is already invested. If the fund drops 30% in year 5, you have to wait 70 years to recover it, but the debt payments on the $1.5 trillion are due *now*.🚨🚨 You lose money on the investment, but you still pay interest on the debt. And what he means is he’s taking your TAX DOLLARS to PUMP the STOCK MARKET…This is not a "savings account." It is a leveraged buyout of the stock market using your credit card. You cannot offset a liability by creating another liability and hoping for a miracle. 😆 They locking the money away for 75 years, trying to kick the can so far down the road that everyone currently in Congress will be dead.

So the "legal" Ponzi scheme we are mandated to pay into is running dry? Who could have ever seen this coming? 🤔🤦

Hey Peter, is it good if a mining stock goes down 10 percent in one day, not sure if this is a sign of strength or just incredibly bad luck!!!

This response said it best...

They have no money so how does the account get funded? Bunch of greedy fuks!

@PeterSchiff What’s the problem with funding social security?

You have the Gov you deserve. Until you rise up and hang/burn some traitors it won't get better ✌️

Sell out your children’s future so we can subsidize boomers 30+ year retirements. Fucking parasites

What happened to the first $1.5 trillion that was paid out the first time? GTFOutta here 😡

Why do we keep calling these idiots honorable?

It's okay, guys. It's going to be pre-funded so it won't cost us anything.

Let's swap the camera guy for the Senate guy and give them each other's positions.

Maybe stop the fraud and we won’t need an extra fund. The is no social security trust fund. There is no special account with your name on it with your money in it. It is a fraud.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the answer to government insolvency is more spending.

Like we care what a camera man thinks.

We haven’t been trustworthy with the old money, but when we take this new money…

They want to fund it so they can steal it. Again. Standard Operating Procedure.

If you give more money to consumer they just end up in the ends of billionaire if you give money to the workers they will build families instead to give them to billionaires

Take social security and isolate its fund. Stop stealing from it. Remove the salary limit on the tax. Implement a .01/share tax on all trades to help fund which also counters high frequency trading. 50% of any surplus cannot be repurposed. Put SS on a sliding scale not cut offs

Gold miners are complete shit!!!

@BillCassidy

We have the $ to give $10.5 million base pay to Israel a day. Billions more to hunt down & slaughter medics & children in land it covets. And a billion a day to fight the Israel/Epstein war. But can't find the money for social security.

In other words let's make another pot of gold from taxpayer money that Congress can pilfer from Got it!

To backfill the fraud that’s already taken place
