(Just kidding on the Xanax...but at the rate we’re going, I’m NOT ruling it out!)

No surprise here. The idea that everyone in a country can retire and live 25+ years without doing any productive work is delusional.

The only way to fix this "demographic problem" is to let nature run its course.

they are peeling off all the discretionary income from the retire folks by artificially keeping interest rates so low.

creates the illusion of an active econony at the expense of the savers & investors.

if you like this, just wait till they get cap & trade in there.

iow. joe six pack is most vulnerable class with no one to represent their interest, assets, or values.

As a retiree, I can tell you that the last few years have made it more difficult to manage. We have two pensions, two Soc Sec incomes + income from a IRA and rental income from property and it’s become increasingly more difficult to pay property taxes, income taxes, health insurance, prescription bills, co-pays, and other general expenses. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to live on one pension and Soc Sec benefits. The average retiree has got to be struggling.

I don’t see an upside to any of this. We’re all going to be hanging on by our fingernails when TSHTF.

Even those of us that have been meticulous in our planning.

Thanks for NOTHING, Mother Government!
