ObamaCare has what to do with anything? It may in your wife's case, but I am on COBRA while my wife is on Medicare.
Your point?You will get old someday!!
Because most Americans have the financial literacy of goldfish.Social Security worked
Americans love it
RW does not debate. Ever.You're just unwilling to actually discuss SS on the merits. Probably because on the merits SS is a losing argument.
Easiest would be a return to the original parameters: set the age to collect at the average life expectancy, plus two.AGREE on increase of the cap, Any age increase needs to be tiny, last time adding 3 months did not alter life much.
But that means she DOES NOT GET HER OWN.No. Not true. My wife gets a good portion of my SS until she passes.
By your wife drawing SS you upped your income and upping income certainly gives you less subsidy.Well see how close I was. LOL... I try to forget all the hassle of figuring out things like ObamaCare and other govt programs. It's traumatic and frustrating.
Wife was on the phone with ACA exchange about renewal for 2 hrs and 15 minutes JUST YESTERDAY. Has to happen EVERY YEAR with new "income estimates" and ever changing plans that now are "crap grade" insurance for "Bronze and Silver" plans. We DRED THIS EVERY YEAR. Long story -- but found out we LEFT a $300 per month subsidy on the cutting room floor every month last year. Woulda paid for a nice vacation. Or my sporting clays bill. Or a set of new tires or my bird seed bill... LOL,,,,
Wrong again, my wife gets her full SS and a small portion of mine.But that means she DOES NOT GET HER OWN.
Eloquent wordsThat is the Gettysburg Address.
Of course it is.Why do you believe in this fantasy? You know very well it is not possible.
It's actually a 'pyramid scheme', where 'investors' gradually move up and collect benefits from those payers enlisted at the base.Because of the Government using the fund as it's personal piggy bank there is no accumulation. Those not collecting now are paying for those who do.
Ponzi scheme (/ˈpɒnzi/, Italian: [ˈpontsi]) is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors.
Only if one has no dependents or survivors.Yes, a sum so small as to be insulting. The rest of what he paid in is gone!
Dude... it comes from Social Security money.That is NOT Social Security. That is is Disability.
There's no 'accumulation' at your local bank either, or your stock or bond fund, or your Treasuries, or your 401, or your company retirement fund. They are all I.O.U.'sBecause of the Government using the fund as it's personal piggy bank there is no accumulation.
We are a representative democracy, which seeks to take the emotion and hysteria of the mob out of legislating. It works pretty well.The Courts have failed us. But you go on with your campaign, and watch the house of cards continue to crumble.
There's a direct relationship between liberal ambitions for expanding state power and the reactionary Trumpster movement. Again, the agreement is conditional. Government can't rule people the way you'd like. Even if they are in the minority.
A Ponzi scheme operates for the benefit of the 'schemer', not the investors.A ponzi scheme uses current investors to pay out past investors. How is this not exactly what SS is doing?
A Ponzi scheme is also a voluntary arrangement. No one is forced to join.A Ponzi scheme operates for the benefit of the 'schemer', not the investors.
SS 'investors' have never been screwed over. In fact, the program has been expanded beyond its original intention.Covered. LOL.
But again, I agree, SS is not a Ponzi scheme. If someone screws over investors with a Ponzi scheme, they go to jail. If they do it with a government program, they get re-elected.
Ponzi schemes don't have open records.A Ponzi scheme is also a voluntary arrangement. No one is forced to join.
True. I've collected for nearly 20 years, and because I'm still working and paying in, with increased wages, my SS benefit has risen substantially. However, those bennies are taxed heavily.yup
That is the way it works
Used to be workers collected Social Security for five years after they retired. Now, they live 20.
If you say so. Though that doesn't really impact my opinion about the program.SS 'investors' have never been screwed over. In fact, the program has been expanded beyond its original intention.
