And nobody even considers the LOOMING danger we face as our baby boomers age. I don't know if I'll even be getting what I was promised when I was forcibly asked to pay for my social security when I retire.

Bush Jr. tried ( a futile attempt I might add ) to get Congress to reform Social Security in 2005. By that time, his political capital had already been spent on Iraq. Nobody was interested in touching Social Security at all.

That’s an excellent graph.

I’m probably a good example of going from paying max SS and Medicare tax to receiving SS @ 62 and going on Medicare in 3 yrs.

I know there are many in the same situation. It’s a no brainer that our country can’t support this. Only the Baraqqis at AARP believe there is actually a Social Security “trust fund”
