Because they already paid into social security and medicare their entire work life. Do you think this money people paid for 40-50 years should just vanish?
“Because they already paid into social security and medicare their entire work life.”
This is going to sound really harsh. But your generation fell for a lie.
You believed a bunch of politicians who said “If you give us some of your money now, we will give you much, much, more later. Honest. We promise.”
That trick NEVER works.
It never has worked.
It’s never going to work.
“Face it, Otter. You f***** up. You trusted us.” Animal House.
I know it hurts. And you probably hate me for throwing all in your face. But it’s the truth. Your money is gone. My money is gone. They spent it.
They spent it buying votes. Every f****** penny of it. It’s gone like a fart in the wind.
So, it’s time to face some really hard facts. There’s no way the US government can pay what’s been promised. The math doesn’t work. It was never going to work. It couldn’t.
The only real question is how we are going to deal with those facts.
Merry Christmas.
