Here's your problem ~ the $6 trillion was taken from the Boomers IN ADVANCE of the actuarially determined need.
It was spent on cr*p by people long dead.
Now you want to have that obligation canceled so you can do what?
Isn't it enough that housing prices have been cut in half?
“Here’s your problem ~ the $6 trillion was taken from the Boomers IN ADVANCE of the actuarially determined need.”
Money that the boomers themselves took out to pay for toys and goodies.
“It was spent on cr*p by people long dead.”
You said it was used to fund housing and education. Seems to me Boomers made a decision and are unhappy with the results of that decision.
“Now you want to have that obligation canceled so you can do what?”
What obligation do I have to pay into social security? Is it constitutional? I don’t want social security. I’m ok with not receiving a penny. I’d much rather stash my own money away and make more.
I want social security done away with because:
1, it’s a ponzi scheme.
2, it’s one of the largest wastes of money by the government
3, it does a terrible job of the one thing it is supposed to do - give you a return on your ‘investment’.
We could have scrapped it 12 years ago, but the Boomers said no then. Now they are pissy that people want to scrap it now. Cry me a river.
You had your chance to do the right thing and kill an unconstitutional relic. But you want to get your hand up to the trough first before you check out.
And you’ll get it to - by bankrupting the nation along the way. Who cares about the future so long as I got mine!
“Isn’t it enough that housing prices have been cut in half?”
Thank God they’ve fallen somewhat back to sane levels. Housing should be about 3x what people make. Now we might be able to actually afford a house if anyone is willing to hire us for 30k or so a year.
