I AM SICK of this BLATANT BS from A holes like this TOAD blaming BABY BOOMERS impending retirements and the smaller groups of people behind us to support the benefit levels as the reason why it is unsustainable....
HERE IS WHY it it is difficult and in the shape it is in.
CONGRESS CRITTERS and past PRESIDENTS WHO STOLE ALL THE DAMN MONEY because the could and left it with NOTHING!
NO ONE, and I Mean NO ONE ever talks about how the BOOMERS supported such a small group ahead of them and had MASS STOCKPILES of MONEY in the TRUST FUNDS for themselves leftover until freaking THIEVES RAIDED it.
NOW instead of accepting their responsibility for STEALING ignoramouses like this author want to blame it on numbers.
YET, the fool doesn't mention the disparity in the number of BOOMERS who paid to suppirt the generation ahead of them with LOTS of money left over.... Seems to be forgotten or this moron is looking for an easy blame target.
THIS IS BS. There was plenty of money to support everything. The interest alone on that money was staggering... Until we started deficit spendin in huge amounts and just helped ourselves to our retirement money we already put in there.
MESSAGE TO THE AUTHOR AND CONGRESS.
YOU STOLE IT.. NOW PUT IT BACK.... TIME TO PAY THE PIPER and for the FAKE STORIES LIKE THIS ONE to be corrected....
This really ticks me off....
