We’ve all been living on borrowed resources for a long time. We’re all going to have to pay.
One of the problems with too much democracy is that the mob of baby boomers will be large enough to outvote the folks paying into the system. The checks will be written, the taxes will be raised, all other spending will stop just to pay SS and all that goes with it. The economy is doomed to fail in a vain effort to pay for the ponzi scam that is SS. I do hope you all have a plan B cause you are gonna need it.
