I hope that’s not real.
 
Two things.

The reason there won't be enough funds coming in is not because the contributions are too small. It's because benefits were raised too high for the future contributions projections so that pols, knowing full well there wouldn't be enough contributions long-term, could get credit, meaning votes, for the excessive increases in benefits at that moment. Nothing new or different about that bs.

The supposed employers match is nothing but unknown income to employees who think they are getting great benefits for the supposed little payments they are putting in. This is another political move to help the politicians who came up with the idea and ongoing. As you point out, the truth of who is really paying it all comes out for those self-employed.
The best understanding and appreciation for Social Security, and ESPECIALLY Medicare, happen when you are retired and using them to live. Probably goes without saying, but …
 
So go to work for government & fix it. Government always screws things up, right? Will always be true because there's no accountability as in the private world.
Agree, even politicians that want to do right by the people get caught up in the lobbying and corruption. I am right at 60 now and a little old to try to get involved in DC. Yes, the government does always screw things up. When you have a government that can vote their own raises, vote to have their own health care and such, then yes that entity is always 1000% of the time gonna be out for number 1 while doing number 2 on the rest of America. Point Blank plain and simple.
Back in the 70's my dad had his own plumbing company, above his desk was a sign that holds true still today. Picture of a toilet in the foreground with DC in the background, words: FLUSH TWICE IT IS A LONG WAY TO DC!.

He and mom were democrats. But he knew the system was extremely broken and said something broken unchecked or not fixed will continue to become a larger problem year after year. Like a small leak in a pipe, by the time you find it the boards around the pipe are rotted. We have been rotting as a people for over 150 years. The leak has become massive over the last 50 years.

How come that bitch murdered a 3 year old defenseless white boy and not some dude that looks like a pro athlete? ??

It's because she is not crazy...

Saw the family is suing the giant eagle grocery where she stole the knife used because they let her walk out with it knowing she stole it. According to the plaintiff attorneys.
 
I do have to say, I had NO idea the October Surprise would be self inflicted, and probably has the most effect on the staunchest left bloc, white liberal women.

Kill babies or adorable rescue furries?

I bet their heads are spinning in despair right now.

Unreal! I love it! Fell bad for P'Nut and Fred though. Horrible awful sick bureaucrats and Karen's.

This one is worse than Harambe, and 4 days before the election! !
 
There were dozens of posts here claiming he unironically endorsed Kamala. Such unabashed liars.

Don’t remember ever claiming that myself. He’s been ready to cut a deal for awhile imo, the US is the one refusing.

And btw Dion, where you been? Been reading about Kamala marxist roots w her father/grandfather/etc. is that your brand of Marxism?
 
i don’t place much significance on the number of trump signs i see everyday—and i see a bunch everywhere i go. pretty much the same atmosphere as ’20–car/truck caravans, boat rallys etc, yet look what happened.



Usually I'd agree but PA has seen huge change from '20 to '24 in a few heavy Dem counties. She just doesn't appeal to working class blue collar old school democrats.
 
Well that's not very nice. How are we going to form a vibrant online community with you hurling those sorts of hurtful words around? I might retreat into my own little bubble and only seek out news which affirms my own ignorant opinions? Then what, backslaps and like buttons replace the search for enlightenment and knowledge? That I descend into a weak minded plebe capable of only mimicking other like minded plebes until we're little more than a school of plebes in our own little pond walled off from the entire learned world? Seems weak and... pathetic?

If they steal this one I'm never voting again. Period. This whole thing is nothing but a fiction.
If they steal this one, it is over anyway. The invasion will continue on the southern border, prices going up will continue, and the use of the DOJ against political opponents will increase. No one will be able to stop them because they have not faced consequences for their actions not will they.
