So my grandparents witnessed indoor plumbing and electricty in homes and the first telephones. The first airplanes and the modern cars and the model T's. I don't blame them for progress. They had several children because they didn't have birth control. They farmed and raised big families. Do I blame them for a lifetime of hard work and progress? No! Is this generation handed a poor hand? No. The opportunity to live in a free country was bought and paid for by the onesw who lived before. Don't make excuses and blaime others for a crime they didn't commit.

So shouldn’t they be to blame for the US as it is today?
However, the Boomers could have done something about those two acts with far less backlash than trying to fix them now. Instead, they drove another nail in the coffin with the H1B visa Act in 1990.

Could you link us to the “SS data bank”?

Up to you. I'm not arguing, just presenting fact.

Are you claiming that all the money you and your employer ever paid in on your behalf are sitting in what amounts to a savings account somewhere?

The National debt is in great part owed the the Social Security fund because our government used this money to fund the massive welfare state. Most of what is owed in our national debt is to misappropreated funds taken from Social Security.

Put a big enough bead and they’ll probably stick together.

Millenials are the greatest generation
We saved the economy after boomers wrecked it in 2008, we made the world safe from democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan, we saved the world from a pandemic, the list goes on and on

They are still were still keeping track of individual accounts as of that day. On computer it looks just like it was intended from the beginning, a retirement savings account.

Well yeah, but this guy thinks it’s in a savings account collecting interest. Instead it was used to fund current obligations, with the promise that his kids and grandkids would pay it back. It’s a transfer of wealth from those who are younger (and indeed not even born yet) to the aged living now.

Do you think the boomers who worked their entire life and raise big families knew that their retirement money was being stolen by our own Govt.? They are stealing the money from this generation to fund illegal aliens. They encouraged and signed over a million on Medicaire and are paying them more that people who worked their entire life. What is this generation doing to stop it?

Probably not, which is another feather in their cap”I’m a dumbass” camp

No. But I don’t think most of them even know it now. I do think that even if told, most would still choose to take from their own kids and other future generations, even if they don’t need the money.

I’m not sure what generation you are referring to here. I’m Gen X. None of us are, collectively from any generation, doing anything to stop it. Not sure how we would stop it. I do think it’s a bit uncouth to cash a check, made up of money taken from current working people, while insulting them and implying they don’t work hard or well enough.

I was at the office. He was explaining something to me. He turned his monitor for me to see briefly. Acted like he wasn't suppose to do that. Now what I'm trying to explain to you is what I saw and what he said.
That's why you got a SS number. It was originally just a number for your personal account. It's just their way of keeping record.
Nothing different from my record of my bank account. No money actually sitting anywhere. Just numbers in a computer. Bank lent it out to make money In SS case politicians stole it or shared it with others.
