RE: But, but we were promised back in 1964!
Reminds me of the words of the song sang by Dionne Warwick:
Oh, promises, promises
This is where those promises, promises end
I don’t pretend that what was wrong can be right
Every night I sleep now, no more lies
Things that I promised myself fell apart
But I found my heart
Oh, promises, their kind of promises, can just destroy a life
Oh, promises, those kind of promises, take all the joy from life
Great song, sad truth.
As for fixes, simple or not. When have politicians EVER fixed anything?
They NEVER fixed anything have and never will. They kick the can down the road and never accomplish anything.
I’m 64 and will start SS when I turn 66. Not worried about getting some of it but expect they will further means test it like they do now via taxes. The skunks like this kind of thing because they can do it and you really don’t know what it is until you figure it out.
