Number of Social Security employees: 60,000
Annual Amount of Social Security benefits: $1,379,000,000,000
17% Projected gap on Social Security Benefits: $234,430,000,000
Therefore if we cut 100% of all Social Security employees in order to cover the projected gap, then the average wage for each social security employee would need to be: $3,907,166.67
Do you honestly believe that social security employees are getting paid $4 million per year? If the politicians are lying to you about cutting expenses to cover the gap, what other things would they lie to you about?
In order to check the numbers, let's check it a different way. First, let's find out what social security employees actually get paid:
"Competitive starting salaries: between $36,118 to $41,981 at the GS-5 level, and $42,053 to $52,002 at the GS-7 level. (Salaries vary by geographic location.) "
So if we assume every employee was paid the maximum rate a $52,002, then we could save $3,120,120,000 each year. That looks like a lot of money! Too bad it only would cover 1.33% of the annual 17% projected shortfall. Looks like removing every single employee will have a rounding error worth of an impact.
You have access to all of these numbers. You could have run the numbers yourself at any time. You did not. You believed the lies that you were told. Will you continue to believe the lies that the lying liars are telling you?
