You spew bullshit with no links proving your statements.The exact same arguments could be made in 1935 when life expectancy was 60 and there were many more incurable diseases and cancers.
We are living longer, we should be working longer. Simple common sense.
A larger and larger percentage of the population is being supported by a smaller and smaller percentage. This is unsustainable. Again, simple common sense.
Do all that and you don' need to raise the 62 date.You spew bullshit with no links proving your statements.
Fixing SS is fairly simple, reduce or remove the cap, increase the tax slightly, reduce the COLAs, raise the age 62 early retirement age, SS is then "fixed".
Its worked well for 70 years, its a solid program, anyone who wants to screw it up will get bounced at the next election.
SS is easily fixable, Medicare is a tougher fix. They both need to be fixed.The unsustainability of Social Security and Medicare is only going to get much worse. We have a declining birth rate. We are below the replacement rate.
When is the last time you were a mason?SS and MC were started in 1934 and 1965 respectfully. In 1934 job were much more physical and people’s bodies broke down starting in their 50s. Nowadays go to any company and you see people working well into their 70s… heck even construction are less strenuous on the person’s body. The trend is only going to increase. In addition, medicine is getting better and people are living longer. This reality should be recognized.
In addition it is much easier to take care of oneself and eat better and feel better at older ages.
Our safety nets need to reflect this new reality.
And Republicans try to crash it allSS is easily fixable, Medicare is a tougher fix. They both need to be fixed.
Medicare will be bankrupt in 2026. The Biden admin has done nothing to fix anything.
Medicare insolvency still expected by 2026, unchanged by COVID-19, trustees say
The forecast is a bit of a bright spot for the otherwise grim financial prospects of the program, as experts worried COVID-19 would result in the fund that finances Medicare Part A running out of money faster than previously expected.www.healthcaredive.com
Removing the cap doesn't fix SS, it extends solvency 35 years. So bankruptcy goes from 2034 to 2069.Do all that and you don' need to raise the 62 date.
In fact simply raising the cap fixes it
Link? I'm not seeing democrats doing ANYTHING to fix SS or Medicare.And Republicans try to crash it all
No they do not.They have control of DC and are doing nothing but playing the race card.
That was true until the average life expectancy peaked around 80 and is going back down......The trend is only going to increase. In addition, medicine is getting better and people are living longer. This reality should be recognized.
Dude...by 2069 the Baby Boomers will have died off.Removing the cap doesn't fix SS, it extends solvency 35 years. So bankruptcy goes from 2034 to 2069.
The Dems had a super-majority in 2009 and did nothing butNo they do not.
It requires 10 Republican to get anything done...and the number willing to do anything is ZERO
They were a little busy at the time trying to get healthcare passed ...with Republican opposition.The Dems had a super-majority in 2009 and did nothing but
strengthen big pharma, the insurance companies and Wall Street banks.
I believe they went down as the most obstructionist minority ever in Congress, while the Koch brothers were gearing up the TEA party movement.They were a little busy at the time trying to get healthcare passed ...with Republican opposition.
What did the Republicans do in that area besides attack SSI?
And that TEA Party morphed into the Trump PartyI believe they went down as the most obstructionist minority ever in Congress, while the Koch brothers were gearing up the TEA party movement.
Trump isn't about the man -- it's about America.And that TEA Party morphed into the Trump Party
WHAT?Trump isn't about the man -- it's about America.
Your party morphed into the anti-America gang.
Whatever you say Mr Stzrok.WHAT?
Trump is about Trump
I am not eligible for SS disability because I was a teacher and my state does not use the SS system. I become eligible in about 15 more months. By that time, I will be past early retirement age.Still claiming not be a
There is still SS disability…
That's fine with me. In 2069, I will be 109 years old!Removing the cap doesn't fix SS, it extends solvency 35 years. So bankruptcy goes from 2034 to 2069.
What about all the money I pad into SS from ages 17 to present?End it for Boomers and restart it for people 60 and under, so when they hit 65 they get it.
Damn Boo ers have taken everything else...
