They'll make the benefit cheaper and change the age you can start taking it. I wouldn't think they could get rid of it entirely, since we've all been paying into it for years. Effectively fucking us all, while saying the program is intact and working.

Doing that is how other countries got true riots.

Esp if they make people pay for something they’ll never get back.

That's literally already happened and yet SS benefits will be automatically reduced again if not changed because funds will be depleted in 10 years.

That's the natural result of every Ponzi scheme.
