I just joined AARP, as long as you don't fuck with benefits for those over 50 have at it. Otherwise we will reign down on you a Bengay wave of shit on your houses.
i agree with this too. if you want it sooner, then finance your own fucking retirement and get off the taxpayer's back.
You guys do realize that citizens actually pay into SS every payday... don't you?
Personally, I'd rather be able to opt out of SS.
Amazingly almost everyone agrees with this.
Of course SS is a contract and that contract promised certain benefits at certain times. Still, the 62 rule is unrealistic at a time when people are living longer and are more able to work.
By the age of 62, many of the people that I have worked with in sawmills, construction, and steel mills, have such bad backs that, at best, they can only work part time. There has to be allowance for these people. Partial retirement, whatever you would call it.
for social security and Medicare.
I am 1000% in agreement. Start it NOW.
Watch the wannahbe conservatives oppose it.
We also need to cut government pensions for new employees, length of service for all government employees needs to be 40 years before retirement, eliminate all defined benefit plans for those other than military. Want a government job and want a pension? Fund it your damn self.
Now.
Why not military as well? Why did you excluded htem?
I do not want those that have my freedom in their hands worrying about their retirement portfolio.

The military also has self limiting careers. You either advance or you are out. There are no 65 year old Captains in the Army. By the time they reach 20 years there are fewer and fewer officer slots available.

I'm all for it - as long as the retirement age for full government pensions is raised to 70, with significant hair cuts for earlier retirement - i.e., 50% pension at age 55 after sufficient years of service for those who are in the government pension system on a wind down basis. New hires should be subject to personal savings, 401Ks, IRAs, and SS like those of us in the private sector.
I'd also prefer to see SS privatized along the Chilean model (Milton Friedman's concept) so that the government isn't able to access the Trust Fund to fuel spending increases.

While true not everyone is an officer. There are plenty of master sergeants with 20+ years in.
