And the needing to save for retirement, enhances the Argument for taking Socialist Secuity private....

Means testing for Medicare, pushing for Privatization, and Private Retirement funding as the Norm, instead of government generational transfer, is far sounder economically, and far more Moral, and American.

Interesting that the people making over 60k a year in retirement will scream,,they wanta preserve their capital for their kids. I personally favor medicare accounts. You get what you need in life and pay it back at death. Like a big account that the govt keeps, like social security, and the settlement happens at death. Nothing fries me more than seeing my boomer friends doing all sorts of machinations for the govt to pick up their parents bills, nursing home, etc so they get to keep a maximum estate. It just seems so wrong to me.
