It is wrong but it is not illegal so it is not a crime. What about SS do you think is massive crime?
Do you believe SS is simply a mismanaged program? Because in terms of its intended purpose it is doing quite well.
A segment of the previous generation also received company-sponsored retirement plans (in addition to SS) that pay until death, a benefit that is virtually extinct for the boomer generation. This would also skew the overall chart in favor of previous generations getting the better deal after retirement.
These ‘inflation’ gurus that constantly state no inflation, they cost the same, prices are stable obviously never shop in a store. Prices are the same, BUT what was a 16oz item now weighs in at 12 or 13 oz. Paper products have less and less. TP is skinnier, paper towels used to have 110-120 sheets now have 90. BUT, price is the same so no inflation. You just have to buy it twice as often.
