Social Security News
I promise, I will continue the argument about Social Security, but tonight, I’m just going to do a round up of news stories found on Google news when search “Social Security.”
- The Southeast Missourian: Teachers in Missouri pay into the Missouri Public School Retirement System instead of paying into Social Security. However, some school employees who are not teachers, such as bus drivers, counselors, speech therapists, and others, may have been incorrectly exempted from paying into Social Security. In the comments, a teacher complains, “15% of our salary is unbelievable.” (Allen: I guess the idea of paying for their own retirement is too much for teachers to understand.)
- Dubuque Telegraph Herald: Seniors who rely on Social Security benefits alone have a tough time getting by. (Allen: Don’t neglect to save for your own retirement. The fact that an AARP spokesman says “young people can and should count on (Social Security)” isn’t very reassuring.)
