social security is an earned benefit. yeah, it's a promise. but people earn it and it ensures the safe and secure retirement for tens of millions upon millions of americans during their golden years. to those who become disabled and, of course, their family, their children, in fact, if something unfortunate happens. without the action of chairman larson, the social security promise is deeply at risk. democrats want to strengthen social security. republicans want to end it and cripple it. with this legislation, soon to be moving through the house ways and means committee, one of the most important bills that will ever come before this chamber, democrats will push for a vote on the floor as soon as possible. i hear from thousands of northern ohioans and people across our great state to see a responsible solution to protect and improve social security. the wealthy must join with the vast majority of americans in paying their share of social insurance at a percentage that equals what other people pay to secure social security into the future. by ma

after time you brought all these people and the social security is now we can talk about maybe social security is not thething . i'm sure that that is something we started discussing what do we need to do to show up and fix social security. think that would be guaranteed for the future of our children andgrandchildren . there's a lot of people working in jobs that would love to have 501, what do we call these things.i'm not a stock market person. i just kind of look for my social security. but social security i think has got to be a big thing that we're thinking about we have to honor our mother and our father. >> the scripture says so that our days will be long. and we've got to protect our seniors. but we also have to honor the fact that we have with our veterans. and so georgia is a big veterans day. one in 10 people in our state are attached in some way to the military. and we have seen a new generation of veterans post 911 veterans tiwho have been exposed, who had toxic exposure in afghanistan and iraq and other places and have had a hard time getting the benefits they need as a

just like my social security.laughter] those socials who enter security is something we have to think about sing up only after honor our mother and our father days will be long upon the earth and will god protectr our seniors ad we also have the owner the path that we have with our veterans. george is a big say, what intent, is attached summary to the military and we have seen a new generation of veterans a post 911 veterans who have been exposed and have had toxic exposure in afghanistan and iraq and other places that had a hard time getting the benefits that they needed as a result of their services of the literally go abroad in the fight for us and then they come back home and they have to fight with us to you that help men who they deserve and i am glad that we have now move forward with honoring our path across the finish line going to make a huge difference for about 3.5 million veterans. >> absolutely and we owe it to the veterans in our seniors, people living in their golden years, to be free of some of th

republicans are talking about privatizing social security. privatizing social security. this is not a joke. we used to hear this stuff, and think they didn't mean it. but they've written it down. the senator in wisconsin, ron johnson, promised again that if they regained power, they're going to get rid of the affordable care act. what does that mean? it means that any of you have a preexisting condition, will automatically lose insurance. because the insurance company, right baugh united states because of the affordable care act, no one can be denied insurance because they have a preexisting condition. it's the only thing they know. by the way, we're talking 90 million people with preexisting conditions, gone. gone. they tried to do it, about 17 times under trump. we were able to stop them. but folks, this is a different world. i don't know where they live. no, i'm not joking. that's why elections have consequences. that's why they matter and that's why what we're doing here is so important. let me close with this. we made incredible progress on the economy, from where w

we've brought all these people in the social security now he didn't talk about maybe social security. there's another good thing. i'm sure that that is something we need to start discussion about what do we need to do to show up and makes us security thing. that would be guarantee for the future of our children our grandchildren because a lot of people are working in jobs that will not allow them to have 501 whatever we call not forever whether we call these things that i don't know a whole lot about i'm not a stock market person that just kind of look for my social security to take care of me, but social security that thing has got to be a big thing. we got something about. yeah. well to honor. our mother and our father absolutely the scripture says so that our days will be long upon the earth. and we've got to protect our seniors and we also have to honor the pact that we have with our veterans and so george is a big veteran state one in ten people in our state. is attached in some way to the military. and we have seen a new generation of veterans post 911 veterans. who have been ex

or domestic workers and black people in the country social security did not apply to them. se people and social securityod now to talk about maybe it's not a good thing. but i'm sure so what do we need to do to show up to make it guaranteed for the future of our children and grandchildren? a lot of people are working in jobs i'm not a stock market person just from my social security. [laughter] but. >> the scripture says so the days will belong and we have to protect our seniors and also honor the pack that we have with georgia one out of ten people in our state attached some way to the military we have seen the new generation of veterans post 9/11 veterans who have been exposedd with toxic exposure in afghanistan and iraq and other places and had a hard time getting the benefits that they need as a result of their service. so they literally go abroad and fight for us and then have to come home and fight with us to get the health benefits thatat we deserve and then to get across the finish line making a difference of. >> people living in their golden years to be free of some

now they're going after your social security. ve thought had i not seen it on paper and heard the talk about it that i was making it up. not a joke. the big idea is to put security on the chopping block every five years. they have to be reauthorized or they go out of existence. social security you paid in from the day you started working. it's your other pension. your pay ended every single paycheck. you earned it. it's your money, just like your pension, and adds in medicare, medicaid, for the choppy block. unless congress explicitly votes to extend those programs, they go away. you know how they work the rules o. senate, the ability to slow this up and keep that from happening is real. you know how hard it is to get anything done in congress. imagine how hard if republicans had their way. look, the ultra maga republicans, congress is deciding every five years if your promise of your hard earned medicare, social security, would be continued or discontinued or slashed. it's shameful. but rick scott's not alone. senator lindsey gra

anyway, the legacy obviously i mentioning ccc social security. a lot of building projects with the wpa actually when he was governor of new york, they started the highway from lake placida in that area to the whiteface mountain if you've ever been up there they were doing these kinds of projects around here. you all know the rest of the history that eleanor went on. she didn't you know, as first lady i will just say this is an interesting point. he opened the lake placid olympics in 1932. and eleanor started already being her own person much more. she took the bobsled down. a few days earlier six germans had been injured coming around the last or one of the curves there. she wanted to show well, it was safe. course harry hamburger, who was the bobsledder in the lake placid us olympic team said, well, we only took her down the easy part at the end. eleanor flew in an airplane, you know from albany to new york city two years after lindbergh. she was doing a lot of things. this was also the time i should mention just for the background that fdr as g

>> i think that for someone on fixed income of social security it has to happen.ing has gone out of control. anyone on a fixed income, seen that, hurt them the worst. from a savings rate while rates interest rates may go up on savings accounts, it will be very difficult for people to try to save extra money with prices as high as they are. whether it is energy. whether it is food, whether even trying to go on a vacation, prices have gone through the after. people stopped doing that they have stopped going away. stop buying unnecessary items. maybe they take the extra money, put it a way. it might be a small benefit but i think, i think the rate of inflation is going to really get in the way of that. neil: kenny, thank you very much. my friend kenny polcari, slatestone wealth, chief market strategist. a lot of people emailing me, messaging any way they can on the social security hike, cost of living adjustment could go up 11%, many inquiring whether they should start getting social security early. don't want to miss out on the boat. you don't miss out on the boat w

the democrats did social security and medicare and they opposed it. what they're trying to do now is do away with these things. host: mr. waldman? guest: the caller points to something that is important. gallup recently measured trust in institutions, they asked people how much faith they have it all sorts of institutions, they found trust in institutions is at its lowest point since you have been asked to the questions -- that is a situation that is very good for republicans. they are part of the party that say government is bad and you are on your around. the more things feel out of control, the better that is for republicans. first because democrats control the federal government right now. also because it plays into the general conservative ideology that says you are on your around , that you cannot rely on the government to help you come you cannot rely another institutions to help you. the more it feels like those institutions are not providing for you and not solving the problems, the more it seems like the republican argument is right. you hav

, we see that she has an understanding of the issue of social security of military personnel, and thenwhich it fulfills its obligations, it was absolutely right to say that social security is probably one of the key e-e industries today, and that is why we really need all spheres, and they in our country, to have adequate support for the internal displacement of persons affected by the russian e.e. the russian-ukrainian war and the people who are abroad and the unexpected loss that shocked the whole of ukraine. that night, at the age of 57 , ruslana pysanka's heart stopped beating in a german clinic, she was diagnosed with a serious illness rusya was so affectionately called by her friends, colleagues and millions of fans. she didn't tell almost anyone about her war, according to the message of the 1+1 tv channel, where she worked as a tv presenter. she never complained, instead, she always radiated optimism and joy. she was the soul of any company . with happiness, ruslana pysanka was impressive with her gorgeous beauty and extraordinary talent, and roles in the cinema and on televisi

united states and the complete absence of plans or strategies on almost all issues, be it energy, social security, the environment. environment and migration suffrage and national security. here are the signs of a nasty america that is in danger of becoming even more gadge, the most pressing question is how the states get out of this ugly situation, firstly the united states must show leadership and professionalism at home and abroad. there can only be one president in america today. this is joe biden. he should gather the leaders of the congress at his residence in kandy and not let anyone out until an agreement is reached on three or four key ones. a cross that will change the nation one of the most important thing is how to get congress to work and find sound bipartisan solutions. second, the us must assert its leadership role overseas baidun. we need a summit meeting with putin from the sea. biden. having already come to terms with criticism for meeting with mohammed bin salman in saudi arabia, now he will have the same task with putin to correct the hostile relations that are not in the hand

the tax you pay for social security and medicare.at part is only paid for the dollars you earn until you earn 100 and i think 36000. i forget the exact numbers only paid for the first part of your earnings. so people who earn less than that much pay a certain percentage. if you earn saint millions of dollars should pay much smaller percentage because you don't pay any more after you earn that much. the premise of the question is correct but it is a regressive tax because people who earn lower amounts of money have a higher percentage tax rate than people who earn more money that is correct. >> sometimes politicians will call for a payroll tax cut for payroll tax holiday so fica taxes will not go into the system and then they complain on the backend social security is underfunded. you will hear a phrase called scrap the cap which means essentially get rid of the social security tax so those earnings will continue in that social security would have no issue. >> that is correct. >> i would love to end this on a really simple question. b

big idea, social security's on the chopping block every five years.hey have to be reauthorized or they go out of existence. social security, you pay in from the day you started working. it's your other pension. you are paying in every single paycheck. you earned it. it's your money, just like your pension. adding in medicare and medicaid on the chopping block every five years unless congress explicitly votes to extend the program, they go away. you know how they work the rules in the senate. the ability to slow this up and keep it from happening is real. you know how hard it is to get anything done in congress? imagine what it would be of republicans had their way. congress is deciding every five years whether the promise of your hard earned medicare and social security can be continued, discontinued, or cut? it's shameful. host: morning question, text messages, this from bc who says -- inflation going down, biden won't get credit. the right cannot handle the fact that the economy in general is doing so well. david orlando says i would choose the demo

instead of getting a second job, they are realizing social security benefits could be there antidote benefits as a result of taking early, social security benefits are indexed to inflation and get some protection from that. is a signed a lot of people burned through their savings, got a lot of benefits through the covid experience but are drying down on savings and this is another way of trying to find a way to make legals meet as inflation in the downturn in the economy are reducing standards of living. . 20 they are taking these early benefits, many of them while they are continuing to work. i don't know what the dollar for dollar relationship is, but the income you are earning through another job limits how much social security you get, compounding the situation but more money than they would see otherwise. >> they feel they are in desperate straits and this is a way to supplement income that they are concerned about making ends meet. financial advisors always discourage people taking social security early for the reasons you mentioned but if you are desperate and your economic pr

something worrying for those of us who work on population issues because india does not have any social securitywhether it is health or financial so we are worried about the aging population but there isn't much work being done in india. it's only actually after the last report of the u.n. that there was even conversation beginning about aging. in india, where a large percentage of people there's huge migration from the villages , there is very little security in terms of caregiving also for the aged. india has to prepare itself for making universal health coverage a reality. we have to strengthen our public health system and reimagine the public health system which we recognized during covid finally that it is in public health interest in the icu. the aging population is something india will have to plan for and invest in -- nastasia: i want to turn us to the environment and not run out of time before we get there. were talking about constraints on resources. obviously a huge one is what we're going to see in terms of climate change impact. a lot of this population growth is going to be taking
