I’m going to need counseling after reading that. That is the most depressing thing I have read.

I’m glad there are no sharp objects around me. I’m almost compelled to stab myself in the eye at the thought of our future. At least then I can collect some dissability before the boomers suck it all out of the system. Right?

Not right.
‘boomers’ paid it in to the system. Forced to do so by government, told it would be put in a trust fund for them.

Instead, government spent it.
Your congresspersons had wild spending spree’s. And when their wasn’t enough money left, they just spend wild amounts now, using the American credit card. Future generations.

As for disability. Haven’t you heard? That’s how the unemployment number is going down. Lose your unemployment benefits, we give you..........you guessed it, Disability benefits.

So keep blaming the ‘boomer’s’...........it’s good political spin.

Government is the problem.

SS is a tax, not a defined benefit. That is settled case law.
