I’ve proven you wrong in every ss thread over the past year

I don’t like you and think you are a drag on society so I’m not going to make you look like a bitch again

social security

You can't look at social security in a vacuum. You have to look at SS and Medicare together. It's a total catch-22. For the last decade or so I've been part of a large group of Americans having to deal with aging parents. Most of my friends are also in this group. What I've learned is that there are no good answers to life's problems in our elder years. There are only bad situations and worse ones.

What's killing our system is that the average person is living about 10 years too long, and it's our medical system that's responsible. Medicare is the enabler. People would never get this level of care if it wasn't free. I don't know how you even start this conversation, but keeping people alive just so they can be miserable is not compassion. It's also incredibly expensive. A person should not spend more in the last 10 years of their life than they made during the first 70 years, but they do.

Well 90 ( 3.7)was the year my first was born since your suggestion of me lying, number 5 was 98 and it was 2.78 so I’ll take that hit of under 3 so again it was over 3.2 for that 8 year period. Trying awful hard not to admit that your generation rather tickle a remote than a gal.

I've put a lot in over 20 years, but I'd take them shutting it down right now even if it meant that what I've paid in is gone. It already is anyway. It's been paid out to today's beneficiaries.

Social Security serves a purpose. It is important for millions of lower income people. Decide how to cut the high income earners out.
It will never go away because well: Social Security serves a purpose. It is important for millions of lower income people.

in 2006 when W was trying to get his privatization passed boomers were the largest voting bloc and had the most members of congress

But they were not taking SS and had no idea whether they thought it was important or not. The oldsters who were riled up by the democrats at the time were the WWII generation.

Good grief, can anyone read my second post? Of course someone pays into a Ponzi scheme. Thats why I’m taking issue with the original article and Walsh claiming we don’t pay into it!

They won't do away with Social Security because that would mean doing away with stealing Social Security Taxes from your check every week.

Boomers did a lot more than beat the Axis powers in WW2. We financed, engineered, designed, and constructed the infrastructure that you use every day. I’m tired of hearing from Gen whatever bitching, moaning, and growning about boomers.

Grow up. Work hard. Get married. Have a family. Teach your children empathy and respect, especially for their elders, save, and live within your means.

Also, never vote for a demorat. And register Republican. Primary RINOs.

Once we have solid MAGA majorities in the house and senate, the United States will rock. And all Americans will benefit.

FACT.
