So you’re giving up your social security and Medicare, I presume?

The SS and Medicare fall under moneys borrowed.

Since they can no longer borrow from those funds it should self fund from the SS and Medicare tax collected currently.

This is just income tax. I can not fix everything in one amendment. :)

BTW, I collect neither and would gladly give up future claims in exchange for being able to fund my own retirement and medical.

“giving up your social security”

The kids could give their money directly to their parents.

Before Social Security, the duplex was the US retirement funding vehicle of choice. A couple would buy two housing units and live off the rent of one in their old age.

Buy-to-let is the UK choice of private retirement funding.
