Of course they would.
They are flatly against anything private it seems. But I am not a left winger or a right winger so I could give two shits what one or the other side will fight against. I would guess you, most likely, will not agree with the other side of that equation that I spoke of earlier as well: you want more people paying into the system then immigration is the way to make that happen.
The right shits a brick when talking about immigration, which allows you to get more people paying into the system, and the left will shit a brick when you talk about moving more of that wealth into the hands of the actual people rather than the government busybodies.
Exactly. I started taking my SS benefit at 62 because there's no guarantee how long I'm going to live and what the quality of those last years is going to be. But that of course is everyone's individual decision to make.Why? I've paid into it for over 40 years maxing out my contributions in multiple years, So you need to be in poor health with a broken down body to get SS? right now I need to be 67 and 9 months to get full benefits.
So true. I watched my Dad go straight downhill after he hit 60. Bad habits, lots of stress, no exercise, not good.We are the fattest country in the world. Our diets are terrible and we flat lined in life expectancy the last couple of years. We are not in great shape and this goes double for our senior citizens. Very few are gifted with the ability to abuse their bodies and still be in great shape once they get older. Living longer does not mean living better.

Absolutely. They do reduce SS benefits depending on how much you earn, should you decide to still do compensated work. But like I said, everyone's situation is different. It is wise to not just buy into the "Full benefits" carrot that the SSA dangles to get you wait until age 67. That might be great if you live to be 90 with good health. Most people won't.Unless you really love working it makes sense to retire early for the reason you stated. More than that is once on SS you can still work. The combination of collecting SS and working puts a lot of people in the same or nearly the same income bracket they were in working full-time. In the meantime if you have an IRA, you can keep it there without touching it and use it when you can no longer work part-time.
They say there is with $2.91T in it..You are in error sir! There is no such thing as the SS Trust Fund.
They were the real people who helped to build America. The wear and tear on their bodies was tremendous.The average 65 year old today is in far better health than the 65 year old of 1930.
In fact, it was harder to find a 65 year old in 1930. Most people never reached that age.
So this business about infirmity is horseshit.
Exactly right.Should they move my retirement age? Hell NO!
Been working all my life. Never collected welfare, Never took unemployment….fuck them…it’s my money, and my time (in 6 years) to retire….
And?
this is immaterial to SS. It matters not why we have more that can pull from the program but just that such is the case.
Sure, lifespan has mostly increased because we have stopped death from coming early but that is a topic for the health forum.
So growing flowers will make the country safe from Chinese invasion?Funny thing about those who advocate for imposing new restrictions on Americans accessing SS. They don’t seem to ever consider reducing the size of the war and spy budgets.
Lol. Are the Chinese invading?So growing flowers will make the country safe from Chinese invasion?

I figured an uneducated prick like you would say something like that.
Doing what?I'm working with cancer. Thanks
That Trust Fund is only of paper. That fund also pays for survivors nd disability.They say there is with $2.91T in it..

I am talking about your screwed up alignment, dumbass! You post meaningless drivel in a format that is harder to read. Is that a self-defense tactic?.
The fact I had already posted it twice in the discussion wouldn't suggest that wasn't a stellar conclusion on your part.
.
Not trueBut should someone who has paid in the bare minimum amount of time receive the same benefits as someone who has paid in 35-45-55 years consistently?
And there's the problem. To our government, they are going to get the identical benefits.
