increase in eligibility age or higher taxes.


This would be part of the reforms. The reduction of benefits will be unlikely if reforms are made.

what happens when they continue to do nothing?


As long as there are workers and a FICA tax SS will still be around.

You should suggest it to Kalahi, seriously.

It needs to get on the fast track to get killed. Itll never happen, because everybody gotta get they government check.

I just hope yall realize youre fricking your kids and grandkids in the arse long dick style for your $25k a year. We've been planning for retirement and before i draw my savings, the government will be pillaging them to help continue this jungle frick, in addition to me continuing to pay SS tax for no fricking reason.

It needs to get on a scheduled death sentence right the frick now.

No, it isnt.

Yall seem to have a hard time understanding this. Your money is gone. What you are being paid is my money.

You don't see the problem here?

The young people today are who is taking it on the chin, very fricking hard.

Why is it you dumbasses never suggest reallocating the budget. It’s always raise taxes. The government has plenty of money but there are many who want them to have more?

The amount of fraud in social security is mind numbing.


Not just Social Security. All of government. All of it.

Lots of abuse of SSI Disability and Veterans disability.

Easy. Raise taxes and increase the limit.

Also, go 50-50 for anyone under 55.

Social Security has 6 years left


They’ve got to be running out of numbers.

I’m surprised it lasted this long.

Again, no it isn’t.

It is the money of the younger generations.

The politicians you guys voted for for years stole it.

Your opinion is fine though.

I find it interesting to see that you have such a shitty view of your children though.

I mean, to basically have the mindset of “frick my kids, I get mine” is pretty damn cold.

How are we going to re-allocate anything significant to Social Security?

I don't think you understand the amounts involved on either end

You see why people have such a shitty view of boomers, right?

They took it on the chin and know they got fricked by this, but their viewpoint is now “I got fricked by the shitty politicians, therefore let them frick my kids and grandkids”.

The old should build a great world for the young.

We should sacrifice ourselves for our young.

The boomer mindset is “frick the young, we should leave the world shittier than it was before”.
