I’m all for people getting what they deserve out of SS, but SS pays out billions that IMO shouldn’t. For example, we have friends that he worked for the railroad all his life and has a great pension which he deserves, but when his wife turned 65, she got a railroad pension too. Why did she get 1 when she didn’t work for the railroad and she had a very good job with a pension (non-government job). I heard this comes out of the SS pot. Check it out for yourself, the 1st paragraph gives you insight into this and this is on the SS website:

I watched a few videos on this new fairness act, some state it’s good while others say it’s very bad. Check this out which goes over all the things that make this new bill terrible for the remaining 97% of SS recipients. This guy has stats that can drastically increase the benefits of part time SS payees into the system and also shows that this $190B cost will cause SS to reduce benefits starting in 2031 by 20% or in 2034 by 33%. So when you look at this new bill, you have to look at the whole pucture:
