Crnr2Crnr Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller says US seniors need to 'take a cut' in Social Security — when it isn't enough for many boomers at present.

Well then maybe your generation should stand up and scream about people with ADD who are 100% functional getting signed up for ssi when they are 15 and co0llecting for 70 yrs. A dude pulling down $1500 a month for 6 yrs isnt what is killing SS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The federal budget is also closing in a financial black hole. None of us voted for this. Money infesting the political process is what caused this.

'what do you mean I'm only going to be getting 77% of what the program I've paid into promised me I would?' we've a financial reckoning coming... maybe I'll just stay in the Bahamas.

We've been hearing these same warnings for 40 years at least. Its hard to have an honest conversation with you and all the "boomer" bullshit.....its the money and special interests that are preventing real reforms in scaling down the size and cost of government, including entitlements. And those senators you mentioned are older than boomers. BTW, your generation is just as guilty. Who are the reformers in your generation down on capital hill making a difference demanding smaller government? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good lord relax, you scare real easy. Were you scared of the boogeyman as a child? SS has been a political scare card forever, don't be gullible and get sucked in by the BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then I think they told me to kill myself..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
