Amazing people can’t understand this.
It's just a self perception thing. People who are looking forward to SS but perceive themselves as "small government conservatives" who don't like welfare, can't imagine they're licking their chops at the largest welfare program in human history.
This guy is demanding no changes at all, which don't even reflect how SS was supposed to work (tying the age of receipt to life expectancy). Keeping the age so low at 65 is counter to what the program is supposed to be.

I think this is a take with absolutely no nuance. "Welfare" has many forms, few people hate it outright.
I have no problem helping granny who worked all her life and is too old and frail to earn money now. She is doing her best.
I have a big problem supporting someone who is lazy/refusing to work.
It's a spectrum, not a binary
