SSI is not SSA. "Insurance" versus an "annuity." You simply cannot have insurance created/meant for social/financial accidents and then pay out to everyone regardless of an accident as if it were an annuity. No insurer could survive. But that is where we are. So rather than foolishly trying to force its way into peoples' pockets to save this nation, how about asking for help?
Brilliant & simple, for less than $1,000,000 a website can be built allowing voluntary discontinuance of SSI for those who can afford it, restoring payments & up to 50% of forgiven funds anytime, no questions. 40 million SSI retirees alone @ $1,000/month (low) = $40 billion/mo. or $480 billion/yr. 1 of 20 sign up and that shaves $24 billion/yr off the national deficit. VOLUNTARILY, NO NEW TAXES. Or, explain why not?
