The story behind this shirt

Without Social Security, 37.6 percent of people 65 and older would fall below the poverty line, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' analysis of the Census Bureau's Supplemental Poverty Measure. With it, the rate is 10.3 percent. CBPP estimates Social Security lifted 23.5 million people above the poverty line in 2024, nearly 17 million of them seniors. The front print says "23.5 million kept out of poverty. No means test." and, under it, the address of the Social Security page on this site, where the claim sits with its evidence, the best case against it, and the answer.
