Surplus!

Ms of those baby boomers, polls show CAN'T RETIRE. VRWC stagnated their incomes these last 35 years so they MUST keep working INDEFINITELY to keep their heads above water. Add in Ms of working age people at all income levels, eg the LONG TERM unemployed who can't find work ("50 is the new 60") and quit "participating" in the labor force.

"The SS minimum age is 67" WTF?

"you may start receiving benefits as early as age 62 or as late as age 70.

If You Retire Early

You can retire at any time between age 62 and full retirement age."

Social security was never meant to be a a persons only retirement income. It was also designed when people didn't live as long, and when we had exponential population growth. SS is simply unsustainable as it is. I hope you young people are saving in your own 401k or equivalent, or have an IRA.. Don't cry to society if you don't plan ahead.

It was meant to lift poor people, MOST of America in the 1930s, out of poverty in their old age.

It still does, even if it's highly regressive, capped, per dictates of the wealthy.

10Ms of Americans, if they even have job, live paycheck to paycheck, a couple of lost paychecks from financial calamity.

Being good Americans and targets for corporate advertising and predatory, wealth-extracting corporations, they CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME.

The VRWC/financial self-serving attack on SS is to kill SS so people will be forced into fee-extracting, over decades, private savings accounts.

Nice to see another moran brainwashed by "studies" put out by Fidelity. "Average Americans aren't ready for retirement so give us more of your money". Keep drinking dat Koolaid.


BTW, I'm 35 and will easily retire by 55 with income until 100 without SS. It's not that hard.
