1. Medicare is going bankrupt now, and you want to add more people who haven't paid into it? That is stupid.Try Medicare for everyone. Then that wouldn't be an issue.
If people retired at 58, there would be far less of a need for healthcare.
The wealthiest can easily afford the increase in SS payments and in all forms of taxation.
Nobody's talking about the early retirement age. The question is the age for full retirement benefits., which is now really 70.
Ya east side of Buffalo where their shit hole dilapidated homes infested with cockroaches…. Mind you it wasn’t like that in the 1950s or 60s in the same area.
And homeless people who are begging for money on the street
WHAT???Since I'm a hard core conservative, no.
In normal times fiscal policy could be #1.
Normal times ended with The Coup
A complete monetary reset is on the horizon.
Debt will be wiped out.
In return the WEF will decide how the world currency is decided and divided.
I know you're British. How is that creep you call King Charles and his old old lady?You think I'm British, the idiot is you, twat. And this is not the first time you were confused. Remember when you thought I was "taz?" You're a fucking moron, MAGA man. You're like Biden, old and not aging well
1. Medicare is going bankrupt now, and you want to add more people who haven't paid into it? That is stupid.
2. SS is running out of money now. In 2034 it will be insolvent, only paying out what it takes in. That is stupid too.
3. If the cap is removed the wealthy will save SS, for those who paid in.
4. Working to 70 is a stretch for most of us. 65 is doable, 62 if you have a good 401k.

You have an age prejudice splattered all over hereYes I've only been on the site 13 years and again, this isn't the first time you confused me with another poster. I hope you live in a nursing home, you clearly can't take care of yourself

1. No other country spends what the US spends on Defense. We will never cut defense with China and Russia getting bolder. There will not be socialized medicine anytime soon, especially when we need to cut the Budget to pay interest on the Debt.every civilized country in the world has socialized medicine. The U.S. is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. We certainly can afford socialized medicine and to pay SS.
I agree that the Republicans have structured the Government's budget and taxes to look like everything will go bust, but we can certainly afford what every other country affords.
70 is the de-facto retirement age now. They say it's 67, but sticking out work until 70 means $1k per month more in payments. Basically, they've set it up so that most people will work until they die.
Your plan causes the cost of everything to rise because of increased taxes, dumbass! You cannot raise taxes without causing inflation. I used to teach economics. How about you?My plan works. It cuts the Deficit and Debt.
From what I see, you have no plan, so keep borrowing and keep watching the interest on the Debt explode.
every civilized country in the world has socialized medicine.
You're preaching to the choir. Agree that they can't agree on what to cut, so it may be too late already. You can't cut paying the interest on the Debt. That may be what you're missing. To pay the interest and pay down the debt we need more revenue.Your plan causes the cost of everything to rise because of increased taxes, dumbass! You cannot raise taxes without causing inflation. I used to teach economics. How about you? Cutting expenditures is what needs to be done. No one agrees on what to cut.
I thank God I was able to retire at age 62. I had to quit work because of my health seven months before I turned 62. That meant I had $400 a month income. Those 7 months would have turned into 19 months if I had to wait to age 63. No hardship, huh?You type statistics and factoids without any proof.
We disagree. The age 62 early retirement age can go up one year without any hardship.
Removing the cap just means that the wealthy pay unfairly to keep SS solvent.
Retiring at 58 would mean that the worker would use all of his SS payments to by health insurance.
Medicare doesn't kick-in until age 65. That's why most people work until age 65, like me.
Them self's? WTF is that?Maybe your young enough that you think you HAVE or Will make enough money that you wont ever need SS.
And your thinking stops there?
But about those on SS and those with in 10 years of retiring who don't think they will have their house paid off or will have enough to support them self's. How about those who are getting SS NOW?
who will feed house & care for them.?
Pretty picture millions of seniors living under a bridge.
Well the "no action" alternative is that we'd get 75% of promised benefits after 2034. SS would pay out only what it takes in.I thank God I was able to retire at age 62.

You don't think Congress would change the retirement ages for youngsters, remove the cap, or simply pay SS out of money borrowed, adding to the debt? There is no way they will do nothing because they would never be reelected.Well the "no action" alternative is that we'd get 75% of promised benefits after 2034.

I'm not sure what "safety nets" are out there. Disability? Welfare? Food stamps? etc.
I was only referring to healthy workers, not those unable to work.
I agree that the "no action" option is off the table, we seniors always vote, but as you say, the DC clowns can never agree on anything.You don't think Congress would change the retirement ages for youngsters, remove the cap, or simply pay SS out of money borrowed, adding to the debt?

and their white confederate descendents, still live in the SOUTH....! They didn't pick up and move NORTH.So true
