A screed by me to test the political will to achieve improbable things. Won't Republicans look foolish when California, of all places, outflanks them to the right on fiscal issue? I am tired of being told what is impossible.

If they’re not going to be able to pay out, why should young people pay in now? The pyramid scheme is falling, and the jackboots will come after you if you try to get out of it?

Sorry but the government made no such promise. The Supreme Court has even ruled that SS can be modified at will by Congress. There are SS taxes and there are SS payouts and that is all. Our government takes it from Peter and gives it to Paul There are no contracts, moral obligations, intergenerational agreements, trust funds, or rights of any sorts. Please refer to it by its proper term WELFARE.

What is neither, Alex?

Debt can either be paid or defaulted. The debt is at a level now that can not be serviced. Therefore, it will be defaulted. So, neither will get paid.
