So many Americans died from Covid, it’s boosting Social Security to the tune of $205 billion

If we could have only picked and chosen the ones who died from it,
covid would have been a big enough blessing to convince me that God exists.

Unfortunately, the right wing lunatics just here on JPP alone prove that that didn't happen.
The much needed addition from subtraction didn't materialize.
We've got to think of a better way.

I bet trump and Musk never factored this into their numbers about government waste.

"As the U.S. approaches the fifth anniversary of the official start of the COVID-19 pandemic, new research finds so many Americans died from the virus that the nation's Social Security trust fund will see a net increase of hundreds of billions of dollars due to retirement benefits that will not be paid out.

The working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research finds that approximately 1.7 million excess deaths among Americans 25 and older occurred between 2020 and 2023 related to the pandemic. Premature deaths related to Covid mean Social Security will not make retirement payments to those individuals in the future, reducing payments by about $294 billion, the researchers found.

At the same time, some of that gain is offset by the lost tax revenue from those individuals, as well as increased survivor benefits to spouses and children of the deceased, resulting in an estimated $205 billion less in future outlays.

Of course, while excess deaths is one measure of how Covid continues to impact Social Security, there are other ways that the study notes it does not account for—long Covid survivors, for example, are more likely to drop out of the workforce, which could lead to paying less into Social Security over time and possibly needing to tap the safety net's disability benefits.

"Our analysis suggests a slight improvement in Social Security’s financial health due to excess deaths, driven primarily by the premature death of people who would have received retirement benefits," the report reads."

And of course, MOST of those who die have had the mRNA sequencers misnamed as a "vaccination."
 
It must be said that already the Death Jabs have almost certainly killed more than COVID did.....they have certainly taken more years of life.....COVID usually killed only the old and the already sick....the Death Jabs take even the healthy in their prime.

That explains why they locked down all the old folks’ homes and brought in COVID patients.
