How Pink Floyd's "Time" Lyrics Explains the Social Security Cuts:

Instead of Social Security cuts happening in 2035, it is now happening in 2034, a year earlier than promised.

“The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older/
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death”.

I am running for President to fix major problems. Social Security is one of the largest issues. It is $61 Trillion in the red.

Somehow, the news is actually even worse. In 365 days, a person ages a year. It isn’t complicated. But in that year, the SSA (OASI is Social Security) says the cuts in Social Security will occur one year earlier than expected. That is the equivalent of losing two years.

Here is their statement from a year ago: They can pay until 2035. Then they cut your benefits to 80% of what you were getting.

The OASI and DI funds are separate entities under law. The report also presents information that combines the reserves of these two funds in order to illustrate the actuarial status of the Social Security program as a whole. The hypothetical combined OASI and DI funds would be able to pay scheduled benefits on a timely basis until 2035, ... At that time, the combined funds’ reserves will become depleted. Continuing tax income will be sufficient to pay 80 percent of scheduled benefits.

Here is the 2023 statement that came out last week. The cuts to social security come in 2034.

If the OASI Trust Fund and the DI Trust Fund projections are added together, the resulting projected fund (designated OASDI) would be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2034, one year earlier than reported last year. At that time, the projected fund's reserves will become depleted and continuing total fund income will be sufficient to pay 80 percent of scheduled benefits.

While “Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way”, it should not be the American way. Yet it is. I am the only candidate with a plan to modernize and strengthen Social Security in order to get more money for our younger generation. My plan is here at stevelaffey.com

My opponents and those getting ready to run have taken the pledge to not touch Social Security. It is not the time to play to the crowd. It is time to solve serious problems. I solve serious problems.

Donald Trump.

Nikki Haley. (This is not a plan. More on this later.)

Gov. Ron DeSantis. Huh?

Vivek Ramaswamy. Let me know if you find any position.

“Time” is slipping away for our great nation.

Pink Floyd wrote, “Every year is getting shorter”. But it is getting shorter at an even faster clip. The government, especially the Social Security Administration, is stealing time from us, and is stealing money from our children.

I said this when I announced: I am running for president because the financial crisis is real, it is here NOW, and I am the only one who wants to fix it. I am the only one who can.
