Please, don't be patronizing. I debate here all the time, and on every issue. I can tell when a mind is made up, and they usually are in concrete when it comes their personal checking account receiving a Federal Direct Deposit or getting subsidized medical insurance paid for by others.
Would never patronize.
I paid for someone’s SS before me, when I really could not afford it, but I didn’t hate em or cry about it like a 3rd grader.
I could give a damn how much or how bad a deal the next set of payers has set themselves up into.
Unless you are 15, you won’t get much different SS than we now do and you’ll quite happily take that monthly deposit.
