This article is absolutely correct. The part about it is the boomers fault once again just ticks me off. They have know about the short comings of the ponzi scheme of SS for decades and did nothing about it. Now since all these workers that have supported these benefits to others start to age, this is suddenly their fault? I surely wasn't my fault for the last 35 years of employment to pay towards this BS scheme.
Ugh! I'm going to have to stop reading these articles.

I agree completely. This govt. took thousands of dollars from me and from my husband by force of law and I want it back.

All I know is that it ain't the Boomers who scream bloody murder when SS reform comes up, and it ain't the Boomers who scream for free drugs from the Government.

Define that "They" for me. Who are "They"?? Be VERY careful how you define it. I'm a boomer and I don't approve of this measure and didn't EVER want it!! And, all of my boomer friends, colleagues, co-workers and relatives feel the same way I do.
You probably have your generations confused since boomers are only JUST STARTING TO REACH RETIREMENT AGE!!!!! This wasn't for us, it was for your grandparents and great-grandparents!!!

I fully expect that SS and Medicare should be helpful to those that have little or nothing and NEED it, just as I expect that after working for so many years, it will be there for me and mine .....
what gripes me is that so many getting SS and Medicare DID NOTHING to deserve it.....how many elderly never contributed one dime to Ss or Medicare yet are living out their lives sometimes 20 or 30 yrs getting check after check after check....
and we won't even talk about the illegals and even the legal immigrants, some who can't produce a birth certificate but are conveniently 65 yrs old.....
