Not to worry, we’ll pay for them.

Saving is for suckers.

“Saving is for suckers”

Actually... yes, yes it is. With the Fed’s zero interest rates, savings accounts are eaten by inflation. Financial speculation... stocks... and debt are more rewarded via policy.

My twice divorced 51 year old sister who has declared bankruptcy twice has always had a brand new car.

Number of brand new cars for us? 0

Retirement savings for my sister? 0

Retirement savings for us? More than 0

How will my sister vote if the opportunity arises to take retirement savings from those who have saved and give to those who have not saved? I’m betting the house that she would vote yes with no qualms whatsoever.

If the Federal Government would lower the tax burden and stop debasing our currency people would have a better chance to save

No, most of them will die and not need much in the way of retirement funds

The Fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper comes to mind.
