I'm almost certain it will be gone completely within 5 years at this rate. If we're lucky we might get a one time "I'll give you n thousand dollars to fuck off" payment from the government. If we're lucky.
I've been telling other Xers and Millennials this for the last several years. It's still surprising to me how many of them still assume Social Security will be there to some significant degree when they retire. This is more of an Xers assumption, but also some Millennials still think this.
At this point it sucks but wish we could just opt out and put that same amount towards a private retirement account. That way at least a group of braindead inbred sister-fucker cultists living off welfare, bud light, and racism can’t fuckup my retirement plans because a Russian plant at their favorite news slop feed told them it’s good for the price of eggs. Jesus Christ are trumpers retarded
The problem with retirement accounts is they inevitably get invested in index funds with for profit corporations underlying. These are the same corpos who are buying politicians and twisting the system that’s supposed to serve us into serving them instead. They’re always looking to privatize the gains and socialize the losses.
Enough is enough. Corporations are not people!
100% agreed but for the short term I’d rather ensure I don’t starve when I’m older than like Musks pockets with my social security payment
