Not sure what this means, other than more people can collect, and that means the insolvency is now approaching sooner.

Lets hope the Congress can fix social security without all the continuing resolutions to fix the debt ceiling and the budget ever increasing spending

good luck to us!

Much of this is over my head but I have a good friend who was a firefighter for the City of Detroit. On occasion he was getting shot at because the people that started the fires didn’t want them put out! When he retired he trained himself as a Master Electrician and then worked for many years doing that and paying into Social Security. On top of that The City of Detroit went bankrupt and reduced his pension benefits. Why wouldn’t he be able to collect SS benefits for the second career during a different time period but he cannot. Would this new repeal allow him to now collect SS?
