Within the audio shared by the White Home, Johnson (R-Wis.) mentioned: “That’s why what I talked about, for the primary time round in 2010, I simply laid out the truth of Social Safety. It’s a authorized Ponzi scheme. It’s. I imply, it’s a pay-as-you-go system.”
Later Thursday, Johnson urged the system be privatized.
“Privatizing Social Safety,” he mentioned. “That was just like the worst factor on this planet. Nicely, you already know, had we executed it again then, you already know, Social Safety is perhaps in a extra secure place for youthful staff.”
