Ah yes, Alan Greenspan telling Congress once again, what it doesn't want to hear. Being at the virtual bottom of that government pyramid scheme known as social security, I really have no hurt feelings over either slashing benefits or raising the age to receive benefits. I just count that money that is withheld from pay check as a loss anyway.

" Being at the virtual bottom of that government pyramid"

I say this with all candor......your parents and grandparents should expect to help you out and leave you a nice sum of money...

if the eldest population, the richest segment of society, insists on supporting this SS scheme, they should be prepared to dole out the money to help younger people, since the younger people are getting the great screw job, IMO, by our Ss system and income taxes in general....

I intend to do that with my kids, am doing that in fact, even though I am far from SS....

Younger people have it hard enough as it is.
