Re: We need to cut back medicare and social security from retired boomers
one of the reasons for their poison poke jab was so that SS would become more solvent via having less retirees to pay out to

same with federal and private pension plans which most all had ran into funding requirement trouble

a devious solution

Re: We need to cut back medicare and social security from retired boomers
I don't qualify for s.s. because I didn't work enough. The good news is I worked Fire and have a "safety "retirement". If the "government" can send money to countries I've never heard of and pour billions into Ukraine,they can take care of S.S. There has never been a problem with the U.S. "budget". They never run out of money. I always here about the deficit but this is truly :"nothing ever happens". They just bailed out the failed banks in Kali and saved Newsom's ass. So let's all get along and back off the boomer hate....focus....BTTF-hell0mcfly

Re: We need to cut back medicare and social security from retired boomers
This might just be the most myopic thing I've ever read here. Do you have any idea what would happen?

For starters, the largest homeowning demographic would default on all of their debt, causing the money supply to contract violently, while simultaneously tanking the housing market. The ones who didn't lose their homes would drain their retirement accounts, tanking stocks.

Then they would all reenter the workforce, and the ones who couldn't work would apply for disability and food stamps, stressing an already stressed system. And all this at a time when layoffs and unemployment would be at all time highs to begin with, due the economic catastrophe caused by them all losing their houses.

And do you think that people will continue to pay into social security upon realizing they'll never get it? Of course not. There would be riots over it, and the government would lose all that tax revenue and probably default on the debt.

And the people all this would hurt most are the working aged. The millennials and gen z. The boomers would all die soon and we would be left to inherit the mess.

From what I've seen of the excess death statistics, the boomer demographic's excess mortality is up only very slightly. From what I've seen, the largest increases in excess mortality have been in the middle demographics, the 30-50 crowd.

You left out the best part of the story. The part where people are no longer forced to participate in a socialist scam and now take responsibility for their own financial future. Socialist scam safety nets like this encourage irresponsible financial behavior. It is a good thing it would be ended, even if it causes some problems.

EXACTLY !
 Quoting: tiger1


The problem is that life expectancy has increased significantly... They can't do anything with the small amount of money you gave in. And our government has already spent all the money and has been bankrupt for a long time. We were resolving everything through negative spending.

If you had invested in a bankrupt company, the money would have disappeared, and you would have to take responsibility for it yourself.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84614028


My Dad died at 65. My husband died at 67. I have had several friends and family members who died in their 40's and 50's. Where did all the money go?

For 40 years of your work, what you earned doesn't even account for 10% of the money the government will need to spend on you in the future. And saying that you've paid everything off is ridiculous. It’s like you are asking for something worth a thousand dollars after paying only a hundred dollars.


This is socialism.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83539868


You are people are retarded. I don't think any of you know how much people paid in and how much is paid out from social security. Social security is a fucking joke, if anyone is trying to live off social security for retirement, they are eating canned catfood or on welfare and even then receiving welfare will cut their benefits. No old people are making bank or even surviving well on social security.

If you really gave a shit about social security in the first place and getting ripped off, you wouldn't be going after the old people, but all the young healthy fake SSDI leeches. They are the one living and making bank off the system. But, you don;t mention them, which is funny. You are either to tarded to actually know anything you are babbling about or you just have an axe to grind against old people, probably while waiting between cashing your SSDI checks. You worried old people that paid in might be about to bankrupt your stolen golden goose? Fuck off.

And out of everything tanking the economy of this country social security is not even drop in the bucket you moran. How about you

Older people do NOT get as much back in Social Security as they pay. The problem is multi-faceted. 1. The govt raided the accounts and left IOUs in their place. 2. We pay millions of people disability, including little kids who should not even be receiving disability, out of the account, and those people didn't pay in much, if anything. 3. Medicare is the real financial drain as people on average get a whole lot more than they pay in, yet neither Republicans nor Democrats seem interested in taking on Big Pharma for the good of the American people.

Good facts!

Another thing that's wrong, but wouldn't be helpful in light of the facts you just presented, is that for instance: my husband died so I get his SS. But I'm not allowed to get mine, that I paid in as well. It's one or the other. IMO, that's just wrong.
