We need to find a way to phase things our gracefully, so that we don't get screwed too bad and you don't get screwed too bad. The problem is that those things were publicly financed instead of private.
I understand your self-interest, but I'm sure you don't want to cut out medicare and have your parents wind up in the poor house because of unexpected medical bills wiping out their savings. After all, when they paid their taxes for that, they thought it was like insurance.
What do you suggest?
For one thing, give benefits to people on it now, and drastically cut benefits for people who won't be collecting it for some time. This way thep eople who are on it now aren't screwed, and people decades down the line will have no choice but to come up with a way to take care of themselves.
They were wrong.
Bad boomer. Selfish boomer. Get yourself out to that ice flow and take it like a man.
As you put it so seriously this generational warfare is simply the same old liberal class warfare crap and a set up to make social security means tested. My guess is that if you've done the ant thing you're probably going to be means tested out of getting any of your money back.
After all, you're one of those rich jerks that takes advantage of tax loopholes, didn't play by the rules, yada, yada, yada the usual talking points about anyone that's worked hard.
