Lawmakers passed the Social Security Fairness Act just before Christmas while people aren’t noticing. This allows government union workers and their spouses to enjoy two full pensions if they worked at non-government jobs along with government jobs and earned enough credits. Formerly their government pension was reduced by what they received in Social Security. It only benefits a small number of Seniors but will greatly increase  the burden on the Social Security fund with no funding to cover the increased costs. The vast number of Seniors will receive no benefit and will face reduced Social Security earlier due to Social Security running low on funds sooner. It shows that the Democrats have total disregard for Seniors when it offers government workers facing retirement a huge windfall to buy union votes in upcoming elections. Democrats have always worked to benefit unions but have seen dropping support from police unions as they demonize police and from manufacturing unions as they push the switch from gas powered to electric vehicles which require less workers to manufacture and push importing manufactured goods from China and oil from the Mid-East which costs American jobs.
