The lion's share of it is heavily between Defense and Social Security. Waste in the Social Security system exists, but is relatively nominal, all things considered. The amount of waste in the Defense budget, however . . .
All revenue, tax, and "money bills" originate in the House of Representatives
Social security
All laws that deal with money must originate from Congress. This is the group responsible for raising money for the federal government mainly through taxes.
False. It is in the House.
is there a limit as to how much money a person on social security can accumulate
The gov spends the most money on health and human services which account for programs like welfare and temporary aid for needy families and the like. That cost about $900 billion a year, then its social security and then its defense. So we spend more on social programs then we do on defense.
No, you cannot use a social security card to withdraw money. A social security card may be useful if you want to open a bank account, though, and you can withdraw money from that.
Not likely. Most insurers, if they know that they are on social security benefits, would not loan the money to them.
Yes, social security money can be claimed from a deceased father after one year.
It gave federal money to states to fund social programs
Social Security has been in trouble for years and years, I will never see my money, this I know.
Social security will provide plenty of money for most retirements.
You can make as much money as you want if you are on Social Security. If you are younger than a specified age, your Social Security payment will be reduced by a fraction of the money you make that is greater than a set amount (one dollar for every three dollars you make over that amount). But the result is always that you have more money than you would if you were on Social Security alone.
The Social Security Trust Fund was established in 1939 to receive monies collected for Social Security through payroll taxes. The monies in this fund are managed by the Department of the Treasury; they are not, nor have they ever been, put into the "general operating fund."However, the Social Security Act specifies that the monies in the fund may "be invested in securities backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal government," such as treasury bills, treasury notes, and treasury bonds, as well as special issue bonds. So, essentially, the government can "invest" Social Security funds by lending them to itself, then spending that money on programs not related to Social Security (e.g., defense, foreign aid, education). This has always been the case.During the Johnson administration, Social Security and other Federal programs that operate through trust funds were counted officially in the budget. This did not mean that it was actually part of the general fund, rather that it was finally recorded as part of the budget.
yes
Thats where the money comes from to pay you social security.
