TRUTH MATTERS
There is so much to talk about thanks to
DJT and his cohorts. Well, one cohort in particular today, billionaire Commerce
Secretary Howard William Lutnick.
Last week Lutnick said this (paraphrase):
my mother-in-law is 94 years old. If she did not get her social security check
one month she wouldn't say a word, would not complain. She'd just wait until
next month. The people who'd complain are fraudsters. What a bald-faced lie!
Let's keep it real shall we! His mother-in-law wouldn't miss a beat.
FACT: 97 percent of
older adults (aged 60 to 89) either receive Social Security or will
receive it, according to Social Security Administration estimates. The near
universality of Social Security brings many important advantages. It provides a
foundation of retirement protection for people at all earnings levels.
- Social
Security as a Primary Income Source:
Social Security benefits are the largest
source of income for most retirees, with research indicating that for 4 in 10
retirees, Social Security provided at least 50% of their income, and for 1 in
7, at least 90%.
So, is the secretary
woefully ignorant to the truth? NO! He is following the Trump Administration
script.
