Description

Since Franklin Delano Roosevelt passed it into being in 1933, America’s Social Security system has been overwhelmingly popular. While faith in other government programs and agencies has notably waned over the decades, Americans’ opinions about New Deal-era programs has remained shockingly resilient. The reason for this seems pretty simple: People like retiring, and they know that they can’t do it without the federal program’s help. Now Elon Musk, keying off a tweet thread from anti-Social Security Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), has indicated he may be targeting Social Security as part of his new Department of Government Efficiency efforts. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss George Carlin’s prediction about Social Security’s demise possibly coming true and whether red lights and sirens should be going off as a result of Elon’s tweet.

The guy who commented “Where’s the punchline?” was making a joke. He’s saying George wasn’t telling a joke. He was just telling the truth.

I never thought Carlin was joking. Back then he was in the minority but nowadays comedians are the new truth tellers.

I agree ❤I paid into Social Security every pay day. This is terrible if this is allowed to happen.
