an average of 1.6. Mine had 3.something and we topped that easily enough.


Another lie
The fertility rate from 1970-1995 was 1.9
It was below replacement level during most boomer child bearing years

The SS is going to default regardless at some point, I was doing it on your generation for the above example


I probably have more kids than you but I don’t view them as my retirement paycheck like you
quote:

But is this generation that will make it default as y’all aren’t interested in making babies


So the reason you had kids is to pay taxes that support your ss after they become of age ?

What a fricking ghoulish response
quote:


You are correct. So those who opposed this were the old generation before the boomers, they opposed it.


Typical boomer
Trying to shrug off responsibility to someone else

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

There’s boomers of all age ranges that have been advocating an opt out policy for decades


not enough of them apparently since you couldn't get the votes even though you had the largest voting bloc

Also the program you couldn't get fixed from going broke give you no right to raise my taxes
quote:

So you would be fine with all that money you paid into it going to fund what most likely would be another government welfare program at best


yea if i didn't have to pay anymore
quote:


I believe that when you make it mandatory for me to pay into an entitlement, at some pt I should be entitled to a return on my investment.


what kind of return on investment are you getting from other payments the govt forces from you?
quote:


It's not enough money for luxury.


not by itself but you had it to nice incomes and it add luxury to a lot lives

the program was started to keep old middle to lower income people from going broke, not to give upper middle class, rich old people more disposable income
quote:


Luckily you can't force everyone to accept theft.


you accept it every year when you pay property tax, and income tax

you think that your money is being used just for you or to better your life?
quote:

they do get rid of it I'm expecting a fat check for what I paid in.


Why? it's not your money anymore - its the 70 year old worth $5 milliion 's money who uses it for his country club membership

If they got rid of it tomorrow I'd be really happy and not expect a dime
quote:

no politician would have a chance of getting elected if they ran on the promise to get rid of social security.


W Bush did but was blocked by congress

there is going to be like a 10 year period where the boomer will have died and millennials won't be close to receiving checks and will outnumber gen x where someone could make it part of their campaign
quote:


Actually I do as most of them are family and the rest are their friends. You think doordash went from basically nothing to a nearly 20 billion dollar a year company over the last decade because those evil old people are paying people to deliver their food? You may wanna check those demographics again. But you are correct that most of them at least have access to a 401k but they arent utilizing it either at all, or enough to matter. I do preach to them about needing to do so whenever I can though so maybe it'll eventually happen.


So what do you say to 35-50 year olds who are more successful than you at that age/married with great families, are literally the backbone of this country currently and still don't want to pay for your Boomer Luxury Communism
quote:

all the Boomers who you are complaining about also wanted to opt out. We couldn't and instead we paid in to support our parents and grandparents generations who didn't pay in even 1/2 as much as we did


Too bad
Time to pull up your bootstraps

Every year they talk like they're going to do horror movies for October and then they rarely do them


I think they did all horror movies last year or year before

I remember one or two Halloweens and Friday the 13th
quote:

What year, model, and mileage? Not saying your lying, but most post 09 models I’ve seen are shite in comparison


2010 -2020 duramaxes with 290-450k
had a 2011 sierra that made it to 415k before engine blew
2015 chevy 1500 with 320k
2018 chevy 1500 with 280k

2021 suburban with 190k - only issue has been fuel pump
quote:

I can’t say I’ve seen a GMC made in the past 15 years that rolled over 300k. Most of the time they are pavement princesses


lol I know of 10 of them right now that are still running just fine
About 75% of this board agrees with Crenshaw - you see it in every Vance thread
quote:


When Rand votes against policies that expand government, he gets criticized.


Rand is so free market he tried to put an amendment in the college sports act that gave the NCAA full anti trust exemption where they would go back to being the only ones to make money

quote:

He’s one of the only ones who’s consistently conservative across the board


Libertarianism doesn't equal conservatism - don't know why most people want to make them the same thing
quote:

America will be the first to cure cancer under our current system


They won't allow that to happen - too much money in treatment

quote:

Prescription drug companies have an avg profit margin over the past two decades of like 14%. That is by no means outrageous and America leads the world in medical research because of our free market system


American taxpayers subsidize the research that leads to the innovation and then get fricked on the backend

Phama is not in anyway a free market

quote:

I think either they should suffer like every other farmer or every crop should get an 85% quota on it


So you can't answer my question because you know jack shite about farming.

I think the opposite. Rice and Beef should get the same treatment as sugarcane to limit the imports. Cotton should also get some kind of differential treatment to encourage US companies to make cotton clothing here using domestic cotton
So those billet cutters and planters were around 50 years ago
The row sweeps which makes burning less necessary were to?

What other things would you like them to do?
