I’m not sure how old you are I was born in 1960 so am techically a boomer though identify with GenX more than I do boomers.My Mom and dad were war babies and all of my siblings are GenX.I know this has to change.I know there is not going to be social security for us since we are now 50 and 53.WE plan to work until they ell us to leave and try to be as self sufficient as we can be.IMHO all entitlments have to be stopped and the promises that were made to social security and medicare have to be curbed a lot.If it were up to me those collecting now would take a cut as well as a progressive cut depending on how far away you were to it.It was not designed to live on it was designed to be a supplement the rest is up to you to take care of.Foodstamps and welfare should stop imediately as well as the thousand other programs for the poor.I would propose a community feeding program( soup kitchens) for anyne hungry it would save billions of dollars.
I have no problems in waiving my rights to all future entitlements if that’s what it takes to choke off the beast now.
I’m heartened that you want to kill all entitlements. That’s the only way out.
