Might as well raise it to 170 ...
Maybe 180.
Sure, why not? And while he's at it, why not just take ALL our paychecks too?
Why not, right? Those of us nearing retirement age, well let's just move the goalpost and make us work even longer to get back CRUMBS of what the Government has STOLEN from us and spent elsewhere!
Here's an idea: F*** NO. I've worked over 40 years. In 40 years I've collected TWO WEEKS of unemployment.
I will *never* live long enough to get back the money I paid into that PONZI SCHEME called "social security" and now some assclown demands moving the goalpost AGAIN on me?
F*** NO.
It's my money and I want it all back NOW. One check. NOW. Not 'dribs and drabs' ONE CHECK. The bastards stole it from me every week, I want it back.
And I'll be damn'ed if some assclown on here says "raise the retirement age and increase taxes" when I'm near retirement age.
Nope. I'm old and I guarandamntee I'm treacherous. Mess with my retirement and that assclown is going to look down the end of something he ain't gonna like.
Bingo. Tweaking the edges.
Politicians sound like car salesmen...raise the age or raise the tax ir ubcap it, etc. No mention ever about the fact they spent the “trust “ fund. Sort of like give a trade in allowance but raise the loan rate.
