There are multiple IQ tests each with different reliability and validity measurements. Some have suggested the tests can be culturally biased which may or may not be true in today’s so-called connected world. Regardless, there are so many factors that impact the reliability of these measures (e.g., the person administering the test, etc.) and clearly one can’t have a valid measure without reliable measurements. All that said, I guess I can buy off on SOME IQ tests but if someone is going to say a person with an IQ of 102 is “Smarter” than someone with an IQ of 100, I’ll just laugh. I don’t believe the measuring instruments are that refined. Psychological measures have a long way to go and currently they are as much art as science.
Wildly popular but economically poisonous. Why stop there?
That money is paid back with interest. It's a false issue.
The SS trust fund is used as a piggy bank. Benefits are paid to those who have not earned them. Retirement yes, disability especially. During how many years of Obie's presidency was there a "tax holiday," where everyone got a 'tax cut' that came from SS contributions?
Raising the retirement age is imperative. Stop using the trust fund as a source of new benefits.
Because they're still working.
