Ben Shapiro belly flops on Social Security: “Retirement itself is a stupid idea” – By Jason Campbell (Media Matters) / March 13, 2024
Shapiro claims that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme, retirement is not worth it, and life in America was better before the elderly had access to a regular check
On the March 12 edition of The Daily Wire’s The Ben Shapiro Show, professional talker Ben Shapiro belly-flopped into the ongoing debate regarding Social Security benefits — a debate which has recently grown more intense after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump signaled his openness to cutting Social Security and Medicare benefits.
During his March 13 broadcast, Shapiro doubled down on his attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and the retirement age from the previous day, saying that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme” which is to blame for an alleged collapse in the American family, and repeated that the very concept of retirement is bad.
