“Uhhh, I’ve done the hard work, and have fixed Social Security!” [wild applause] “Here’s how it will work: starting immediately, anyone who has reached the age of 129 1/2 will be able to collect full benefits!”
When will people realize that 30-40 years of retirement funded by current workers just won’t work?
You want a long retirement while you have decades of health to enjoy? Save your (own) pennies!
“Uh, floating the retirement age (even to 75 or 80) to ensure annual solvency sure beats bankrupting and destroying the nation.”
I’ve always wondered, what exactly the he!! kind of work does anyone expect a 75- or 80-year-old to actually do ?
