“Do this for social security as a pilot program first.”
Pound sand. Social Security is about all I’m going to have left. My employer did away with our pension plan some years back, opting to put matching funds, up to a point, into a 401K, which has taken a giant dump no less than three times in the last ten years. Swell!
SS is not an entitlement program, much as the congress and the press want people to think. I’ve paid into it from my very first paycheck fifty years ago. I could damn sure have done better on my own and at least it would be my money, not an IOU from the general fund.
“I could damn sure have done better on my own and at least it would be my money, not an IOU from the general fund.”
This is exactly why they need to make the change!
I do agree they must phase it in for those under 50 ONLY!
