Re: “Wonder if those projections take into account the much lower pay among the younger workers.”

Nothing to worry about.

We will just import another 100 million poorly educated, low skill, Third World, people of color who will cheerfully sacrifice their own standard of living and their own retirement to support 50 million geriatric white people.

Just keep chanting these magic words:

“Diversity Is Our Strength!”

Life Expectancy has increased by about 15 Years or more since SS was instituted.

Add one Month a Year (for the next 36 Years) to the Eligibility Age for Social Security to extend its viability.

Early SS Eligibility goes from 62 to 65.

Full SS Eligibility goes from 67 to 70.

For Medicare, do the same for the next 60 Years.

Medicare Eligibility goes from 65 to 70.

OR, just scrap the whole thing, like that would ever happen.

You can’t make such a blanket statement. What about people who have special need children; or with medical needs of their own? What about those who work hard and don’t get government handouts because they make “too much”?

Why MSM is keeping mum on the $2500 savings every family was going to receive due to Obamacare? Does that mean Obama lied?
