"Criticism" section should be changed to "Impact"
editThe section should assess the impact of SS, not be debating points for and against SS. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 18:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Correct international treaties
editThe line "To that end, the Social Security Administration has signed treaties, often referred to as Totalization Agreements, with other social insurance programs in various foreign countries." needs to be changed.
The Social Security Administration cannot sign treaties. Only the US president can sign treaties and Senate votes to confirm the treaty. 107.197.56.204 (talk) 21:20, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
