Buy stock in Alpo and KennelRation!
Perfect!
That sounds a lot like a plague of locusts............
Just declare SS recipients automatic dual nationality US/Ukraine citizens and there will be plenty of money.
“devour all that America could offer and leave nothing behind.”
That is not fair—they will leave behind thousands of promises for new programs!
Well thank God there’s plenty of money for Ukraine and ITS pension system!! /sarc
Clap. Now.
Will they raise the retirement age to 80?
Seems like half our govt are octogenarians
We may have to move to Ukriane..................
I will buy a shot glass with a grasshopper 🦗 on it.
Whiskey neat for me
I’ll be 62. This is exactly what I and every other Gen Xer I know has been expecting for more than 30 years.
Someone’s house is going to get burned to the ground.
A variation on the game I used to play - drinking the bar shelf from left to right. That did not go too far either ;-)
I think the solution would be to take the profits from politicians who sell influence and other assorted schemes to make money outside of their paycheck, and move those millions to shore up SS.
She probably lives in a gated community or a high rise...............
“Better get a second job! And don’t put your $$ in a savings account.”
I was just thinking that. Our savings are not safe in a 401k or savings account.
We could by land but the goverment find a way to take that too.
It’s the real thing.
Yellen is posturing by her statement. Whatever the date SS goes short on funds, there will be a battle between Rats and RINOs over everything to fund other than SS. That date will conveniently be Christmas Eve or some other holiday when most people are not paying attention. A massive spending bill will pass in the 11th hour and it will fund SS, but SS funds will be dwarfed by the other needless spending. The soothsayer speaketh.
A loaf of bread might cost closer to $100 when all is said and done. Or even a lot more.
Think Weimar circa 1924.
They are not going to cut the benefits and the program will not collapse. Not quite.
Natural mortality and inflation will take care of their problems. And if the monthly benefit payment might be enough to pay for a lunch or a few days of canned cat food? The seniors can eat bugs and be happy. Or not. Their angry votes won't mean anything to the politicians in an era of ballot harvesting and standardized election fraud. And the seniors don't have any money left for campaign contributions, so fuck 'em.
But the monthly benefit payments will keep coming, as regular as the sunrise. Probably even after the beneficiary has died. They need to keep the younger folks calm with the illusion they might get something. (Spoiler - they won't)
The Millennials, and the X-ers (people now in their 40s and 50s) are going be stuck with the problem of fixing this. It will be an ugly transition. And the karma from that transition will be a cold-hearted bitch when they reach their 70's. If they reach their 70's.
