Stop spending money you fools!!

0.5 percent

Universal participation and the absence of means-testing make Social Security very efficient to administer. Administrative costs amount to only 0.5 percent of annual benefits, far below the percentages for private retirement annuities.
You can't be fool enough to really believe that.

Regardless, the comparison to private annuities is bogus, as the 12+% of our total incomes put into annuities would have us all millionaires, when projected over a lifetime of work and wealth accumulation....Social Security is chump change in comparison.
 
" When Negligence And Lack Of Accountability Include Its Own Reward "

* Private Holding For Government Accountability With Only Personal Volition As Incentive *

Ending the Fed altogether would be an immense help.
With what would it be replaced , the government ability to print currency ?
 
You’ll have to ask those calling for the cuts.

I'm asking you though.

You said we need to find a cure for old and then posted a graph showing how older people are becoming a bigger part of the population.

So I'm just curious, what age do you think people should get to?

There is no cure for old (other than perhaps immigration to reduce that ever-growing percentage of the population that’s over 65), that’s the point. As long as the budget reflects a senior living community with a military—which it will for the foreseeable future—there is no path to lower spending.

Socialists have little use for the “past-working age” cohort. You should have seen one of the renditions they proposed for Obamacare, where the amount of care you got went down depending on how many Quality Years you were estimated to have left.

So, the average age for women is 84. If I were to break my hip at 83, there would no money for me to replace because it costs more than that assigned to a Quality Year, and from an actuarial standpoint, that’s what I have left. Never mind that one grandmother almost made 90, the other grandmother made 94, and my mother is still walking around under her own steam at 95. So….if I were to break my hip at 83, there would be no replacement for me, and I could well have 15 years left.

The Democrat socialists have little use for the elderly.

What if we kick out all the illegals, which in turn would lower food and housing costs (supply-demand), and then more Americans could get off welfare? That would help SOME at least.

Prime age labor force participation is currently at its highest rate in decades. The budgetary issue isn’t that the prime agers aren’t doing their best to pull the load. It’s simply that they’re a smaller proportion of the population than ever before. We are an aging nation.

This is true. We are not meeting our replacement rate. The problem is, bringing in millions of unskilled, uneducated lowlife foreigners who will end up on welfare - thus, among the takers - once they become citizens isn’t going to help matters. They will just add to the overwll burden.

So flooding the country with illegals that have no love or respect for the country in order to by force decrease the elderly as a metric is a viable option?

Still haven't answered my question, or explained what you consider a cure for old means to you. Unless in a round about way you're saying we should find a way to lower ones lifespan, and if that's what you believe then I'd ask at what age you plan on killing yourself so you aren't a supposed burden on our society?

I answered your question. There is no cure for old. Spending will continue to go up.
 
Old people still get new hips, dumbass.
Only because the most extreme of the Democrat socialists didn’t get their wish.

Also, did you know that the same Dem socialists proposed that the elderly be LAST in line for the COVID vaccine, even though their lives were the most at risk? Their justification was that their lives had less value.

The Dem Socialists would kill off all the elderly after allowing five years for retirement, if they could get away with it.

Old people get hips under Obamacare and no state in the country put the elderly last in line to be vaxxed. You are living in an alternate reality.
