Announced today, Wednesday, February 1, 2017, by Social Security Administration Commissioner Eric Trump, the government will offer 15.8% of the current Social Security pensioner’s check starting March 3rd. The third day of the month is the traditional day that pensioners receive their Social Security checks or deposits. 

For example a pensioner receiving a monthly benefit of $1000 from Social Security would begin receiving from now on $158 a month. Commissioner Eric Trump said the haircut should have been made a long time ago, but wasn’t because of deplorable lack of leadership of President Obama and Secretary Clinton.  “They were totally owned by the senior lobby, believe you me,” said Trump.

“Now we can get the government revenues in the black where they belong. Less money going out equals a government in the black,” stated Commissioner Trump. “Obviously, the savings on Social Security will allow us to make more tax cuts, and tax cuts mean prosperity for everyone,” continued the Mr. Trump.

Asked why 15.8%, Commissioner Trump would only say that the very best economic advisers in world came up with the amount after many sessions at Trump Towers, a Trump facility now being rented to the federal government. 

Others wondered if the 15.8% originated from the settlement of $158,000, the amount Trump eventually paid through the Trump Foundation on a promised $1,000,000 prize to a man who made a hole-in-one at a Trump charity golf tournament. The New York State investigation into Trump’s self-dealing in the matter was dismissed after review by the office of Attorney General Chris Christie. “It was a charity prize for god’s sake! Sit down and shut up!” barked AG Christie at a news conference January 27th.
