If Medicare is going to be broke in just 12 years, it’s not just saving it for people in their 20’s it’s for people in their 50’s. I would like to just mail all these people the quote from Obama during the debate about raising the debt ceiling saying he doesn’t know if they can send out the next SS checks if we can’t borrow more money. Where’s the security?
I think the people in their fifties are too close to retirement to exclude from some form of Social Security.
This budget reality is so new to people, their habits are going to have to change and so long as the Democrats are saying taxing the rich is enough it isn’t going to happen.
There is going to have to be some form of transition or bridge. Three of my children are in their mid forties and not able to do much for their own retirment yet.
