I can see how social seurity will be tapped even more because more baby boomers will lose their jobs, and collect early.
They might not necessarily lose their jobs; they might just be opting for early retirement out of fear that SSI won't be there should they retire later in life. Either way, it will crash the system.
Tell me if I am wrong. It might help, greatly, if the clowns in D.C. would allow business to prosper and thereby start hiring, again.
It's easy for those in the know to make the system work.
If they're not accepted, lawyers will happily take the case for a cut of the winnings. This is big business.
I knew someone who was collecting - along with the other eleven siblings in the family. All of them were 50 and younger. Social Security would be supporting some of them for 30, 40, 50years.
The problem is Social Security was never set up to support all the people who wanted to live on welfare forever without having to have children. Dems don't care about the elderly - or those paying into the current system who will get screwed. They care about the former welfare types who now are 'disabled'...
People who really are disabled and need the money - might have to do without when the eternally dependent bankrupt it. If that happens, the disabled without family - and the elderly without family to take them in - will die.
The only people who will be fine are those milking one more welfare program...
