Medicare is bankrupt by 2026 and Social Security by 2034, how do we save them?

[kyzr]

Why are people talking about "Medicare for all" when its going bankrupt and can't fully pay what is owed current retirees? (just google it)
Unless we fix Medicare it will be able to only pay 91% of benefits by 2026. Read the following article:
Repeat after me: Social Security and Medicare are not insolvent
So we all will need to pay more to keep Medicare afloat....

Social security will only be able to pay 77% unless we do the following (from the article):
"Conservatives favor benefit cuts to SS via higher retirement ages, more means-testing and a less generous annual cost-of-living adjustment. Progressives advocate gradually increasing payroll taxes and lifting the cap on taxable benefits. Considering that middle-class households depend mainly on Social Security for support in retirement, it would be wiser to follow the progressive agenda."

Stop electing muppets to government.

Change the way people vote to proportional representation.

when the US government allows seniors to get FUCKED that have paid into these programs for DECADES, then expect some SERIOUS civil unrest in America. If folks do not think that 'family' members won't look after gramps & granny, after they are getting screwed by Uncle Sam; LOL

Oh, I dunno, how about not allowing Congress to steal money from it.

Call me crazy.

In other words, forget about it. I'm sure it will all work out.


Mwhahahaha!!

You'd have "War for the Planet of the Apes", with Boomers filling in for the monkeys. They would not accept it.

Trust has not a goddamn thing to do with it but nice try.

just because an entity offers their good faith pledge does NOT mean I place trust into the equation.

Trust may be your f***ing concept; NOT mine.

They could do what the Nazi socialists did.

Just round up the Jews, take their gold and send them away, off in a kinder, gentler way, of course. Naturally, not to Israel. Maybe to Madagascar like Hitler originally thought about sending them.

After all, the Left hates the Zionists.

You don't save something that has been proven not to work in theory, or in practice...

You repeal it and save the nation instead.
