Right. But the actual report was done just a few months after, well, less than a year after it came out. And that's where they turned things around. And Twitter and Facebook and all of them made up a whole new narrative of what actually happened. And that's where that all came from. So I got it right down to where it started from. So, anyway, I appreciate you being patient with me on that one. I asked for the Social Security, you know, the reason why we got Social Security started in the 1930s, 1940s is because of basically, it was, I believe, I can't quote me right now, I can look it up, but it was something like almost 80% of the elderly were basically homeless because they had no money to take care of themselves. So, and this all came out during the Depression and after the Depression. And Congress got together and they set this up and since then we have less than 20% that are homeless that are elderly, which is awesome. It's a lot better than 60 or 80%, right? Now, the system, they say, is going to be out of money in 2033. Well, that's not true. The reserves will be done with, but every person that's on Social Security will still receive 80% of what they're supposed to get if we do nothing. Now, the main solution, the one that I think is best, being a Democrat or at least being a moderate, is the fact that they should just increase the cutoff for Social Security. In other words, you pay that in so much a year that you don't have to pay anymore and the cutoff is like $200,000 or something like that and you put in so much for that year. If they just bring it up to $400,000 to $500,000, you have to pay it all the way up until that wage, that would cover and make the Social Security, what do you call it? Boy, I'm having a hard time today. One more reset. Solvent, solvent is the word I'm looking for. So, anyways, the fact of the day is that 60% of everybody that lives in America is living paycheck by paycheck, so they don't have any money to invest into a 401K or retirement plan of any kind. And pensions are gone. They got rid of them because of the 401K. That was actually designed, the 401K was actually designed at the beginning to, as a tax shelter for rich people when they get bonuses and so forth like that. And that eventually turned into everybody has a 401K later on down the road. And so corporations felt like they didn't have to offer that anymore as a pension. And so that's all we have left. But very few people actually are in 401Ks. I've been contributing for over 35 years to the 401K, but I still like my Social Security when it comes. I'm going to appreciate that too. So I'm a firm believer in Social Security. I think we should shore it up and have it here for generations to come. That's my personal opinion. So have a wonderful day and catch you later. KB0MAI.
