You can vote all you want . . . if the money's not there, the money's not there. At best, you'll manage to bring the whole system down (sorry, I don't see the American economy surviving a 90% tax rate, which is what you'll need to preserve the current expenditures), and leave yourselves without anything, including your own savings and investments for retirement.

It may be too late for anything else, unfortunately, thanks to the short-sightedness of previous generations who took SS as a given and the spinelessness of the Boomers on both sides of the aisle today--they aren't willing to cut spending like they need to to prevent the collapse.

Don't expect my generation's gratitude for that.

Evidently I shouldn't expect anything from your generation after reading this thread. Unfortunately after working since age 16, working every Republican candidate since Nixon, and raising a child on my own, I would have thought RESPECT would have been a given.
