So, your "solution" is for the government to just tell people that they are being forfeited money? Do you really want to give government that kind of power?

The only solution I see with things like Social Security and Medicare is a gradual phase out. This can be sold to people under the age of fifty or so if they are given some of their contributions back in the form of tax credits (to those of us who actually pay taxes).

Agreed.

It doesn’t matter!!!!!!!!!!!

No money means no payments. We have conned ourselves into thinking we could wildly overspend on top of a ponzi scheme. And yes, that is my solution. Tell the truth. SS and Medicare are going away. No more money will be taken from working people’s pay checks to make good on government promises made to others.
