@RameshPonnuru @realestateacct @DominicJPino This is an important point, thank you for the clarification. Now: the flipside! The marginal rent expense and food cost, for two people to live off the $32,000 annual payment, versus the expenses to the single person… There’s an economic on reality and unfairness to this. 1/ @RameshPonnuru @realestateacct @DominicJPino Maybe the couple should see their bounty reduced to $26,000, and the single person see theirs raised to $20,000. I’m pulling numbers out of the air. Social Security is partially a retirement system, but it is also a welfare program. It’s a shifting of resources… 2/
