Solely built by boomer overspending.

or really too many voters needing their votes bought by the career politicians using borrowed money. Democracy doesn't work, which is why we're supposed to have a republic. To fix the current mess and return to the founder's original design, raise the voting age to 35, require land ownership, end women's suffrage, charge a $1 poll tax.

I have paid into social security for 40 years and am still paying. When I go get my benefits I will pay confiscatory tax rates on them. If I live to be 120 I would not get out the $ I would have had if I had invested that money privately like the rest of my retirement savings. Please tell me how Omam stealing from anyone?

Excepting you didn’t “pay” $.01 into...anything. You, like the rest of us, were (illegally) TAXED.

There is ZERO Constitutional authority for *any* “social” program & just as much ‘benefits’ to pull (’cuz, if you think there’s a secret stash of $$, in an already bankrupt govt of $23T+...)

“Your” $$ is L-O-N-G gone down the extra-Constitutional spending bowl. What you ARE doing is economically enslaving the masses for a perceived ‘owed’.

As I’ve said for years, I’m a Republican because 0% of Democrats are for anything resembling fiscal responsibility, while perhaps as many as half of Republicans are. Maybe. You’ve got to start somewhere.

Nonsense.

Every generation of taxpayers pays the cost of supporting the seniors that came before them.

There is nothing special about this generation, except for their inflated sense of self-importance and entitlement.

Millennials have been spoiled by the wealth of Boomers.

And themselves haven’t generally created or earned enough wealth for the Boomers to steal from them.

R-I-G-H-T. Having to live w/ mom/dad ‘cuz Boomers+ govt now steals > 50% of ones pay == “spoiled by the *wealth* of Boomers”

& having > 50% of ones pay+ stolen by govt to “pay” (aka economic servitude) for the illegal promises of govt for its growth by Boomers+ != Boomers stealing

Boy, this board has REALLY gone to s* since Trump’s win...The “It’s not Fascism/unconst. when WE do it” has really gotta bad.

In America, machines already do most of the work, generate most of the wealth, and pay most of the taxes. That trend is accelerating. The real question is what will the left side of the bell curve do?

...

You’re right about the economy getting more productive. The lettuce pickers will be on welfare.

The boomers stole everything from everyone. The WORLD is broke because of the boomers. There are trillions upon trillions in unfunded liabilities and outright debt.

...

Yet interest rates are near zero all across the First World.

Back up the bus a second here, who is it demanding free abortions and healthcare, not just for Citizens and legal residents but every stinking illegal that scurries across our border? Boomers or millennial and whatever the current crop of lazies is called? Blame he Boomers, well some of them for the cost of wars but bear in mind the millenials and whatevers still want to spend all that future generations cash on social programs like free food, rent, medical and guaranteed income for sitting on their asses and not one of them gives a rats ass about who has to pay for it down the line. So instead of laying a crap burger in front of a generation that actually worked and contributed lay it where it belongs in front of the where's my free shit generations.

There is some truth to this. Unfunded pensions for state employees is a good example. Most of those pensions were readjusted for new workers between 2000 and the extended Obama Recession.

This is just another front opened up by the deep state in order to keep us divided. If we are divided we can’t unite against them.... The proof that this works is contained in this thread...
