Do Not Touch Social Security

Social Security has been paid for by we, its present and future recipients, and has a $3 trillion dollar surplus. Social Security is a retirement program that we have invested in with our own money for our entire working  lives; it is a defined pension. It is by no means an “entitlement.”  The program works exceptionally well and you and DOGE must not touch the program in any way. 

Why is this important?

Privatizing Social Security will kill the guaranteed returns and only benefits corporations. Slashing staffing without planning ensures a debacle of epic proportions, risking the reliability of monthly checks most recipients rely upon. If you touch SS, you will literally kill some Americans and throw undue hardship on others. 
You also will owe each of us what we have paid in for the program, plus accrued interest—large sums of money that you would have to pay out. Or you will have a class action suit with tens of millions of people on our side.
