Another one of these objective Liberty threads?
You post your program and why it was successful and he replies FAIL Case Closed

Social Security
yeah... it sucks that 50% of old people aren't living in poverty anymore.
Very necessary program, as is medicare and medicaid, however, social security is failing. It has never been self-sustaining and is going bankrupt. Something has to be done. I sure as hell want social security alive when I get older. Hell I want it when my kids get older!
What's funny in a non-funny way is that SS was initially set up so you couldn't draw from it until you had passed life expectancy. Today that would make the retirement age something like 80 years old I think? It was self-sustaining back then. Of course back then the working-retired population ratio was something like 20:1. Now it's at around 4:1?
