Retirement Crisis Ahead: $175 Trillion Gap in Social Security Funding

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

Thievin' bastards.

When you consider that Social Security payments only amount to a couple thousand dollars a month per person, or less, it would take a lot of months to add up to 1.4 MILLION dollars in deficit "per household" That tells me that the congress critters have way over-leveraged the SS till by too constantly sticking their hands into the cookie jar and leaving IOU's in place of the money we put into it to begin with.

In simple terms, congress has stolen the money they promised to hold for us for our retirement - that makes them nothing more than thieves.

Therefore, congress should be forced to make good on their promise, in full without reductions, and have all of their assets seized to cover it if necessary. Social Security was never meant to be a slush fund for Congress, and if they've stolen from it - which they obviously have - then they should be forced to make it whole again.

pretty simple... but wait and see which congress critter would vote for that!

Theivin' bastards. That's what we get for allowing foxes to guard the hen house.

You are right. Those in our government have failed us again. They have been using us and stealing from us for a long time. The well is s dry, but the keep making the hole deeper. They won't stop until they reach China. And China is ready and waiting.
