Have you noticed that the two presumptative nominees for the presidency.......
 
have BOTH said they were open to "changes" in the social security system? Considering that's 90% of mine and my wife's income, that's pretty scary.

2. WTF?
 




Very large numbers of retired Americans depend on Social Security benefits as their principal means of income.

As do quite a few, but not nearly as many, severely disabled people.

What is the meaning of your comment?

25. I've seen an awful lot of rotten stuff on DU
 




over the years, especially during the past year (well, I was out for about 6 months of that - just wasn't worth my time or energy to participate in such a hostile environment.)

That post by Buzz Clik made the 'top' 5 worst of all time.

And, for anyone who missed it, the post was (probably not quite verbatim, but close):

"It's alarming that 90% of your income is from SS."

And that's got nothing to do, I believe, with whether he (I'm pretty sure) is a Clinton supporter or not. I know lots of decent Clinton supporters. Hell, I'm just glad he's not a Bernie 'supporter.' We actual Bernie supporters would have to put a DU 'watch' on the guy, to keep him from making asses of us by association.

63. I didn't just want to go straight there :-)
 




But, yeah, he and several others on DU are straight-up narcissists. There's a guy who goes by 'Lewebly4,' I think, who's much worse...

Nothing to do with politics. They've got convenient places to get gratification by telling people that are very sharp, keen, and knowledgeable, and then enjoy the fallout when lesser minds like ours inevitably get things wrong.

Of course that'll happen on a site like this, but even 'Buzz Clik' had the good sense to delete his post after he apparently realized how really offensive it was. So, maybe a bit of hope there... Or not. 

Pretty much spot on about Buzz dick

SS can keep every dime I have already paid in if they would just let me opt out. 

Any money drawn from SS by me would be considered a bonus as I am not waiting for the government to take care of me.  Plan ahead.

I wholeheartedly agree with the Buzzer's comment.  Only he would be stupid enough to say it over there.  Poor, poor Buzzy.

The two big problems with SS are, first, that Congress is allowed to steal from it and put IOUs into it in lieu of the money they took, and second, that the structure of it is designed for the old-age pensions but the completely-unfunded explosion in disability payments during the Obama years is sucking the blood out of the old-age retirement system.

I'm alarmed it's not 100% of 90% of all primitives which, truth be told, is likely a more accurate picture.

The big main problem with the way SS was set up is that it's a pyramid scheme.

I would like to see an opt out option.  40 and up could opt out a certain percentage and the younger it goes, the higher the percentage.  You get to claim that amount and interest when you retire, but it would steadily wind back the program

I want what I put in, 5 percent interest and no more taken out. If I break even it would be great. I would probably come out ahead and that is gravy.  They raised the SS crap back in the mid 80's and it was supposed to take care of the problem. Guess what? It did not.  Screwed me then and they will screw me again in 15 or so years.

I agree.  There should be a SS investment board, like many state government retirement boards, that can invest some of it in the market.  Hell if they could have invested even 30 percent in the market back in the mid 80's there would be no problem. Even 5 percent return would be better than what we got now.  Disability should be a separate fund. 

And the survivor benefits need to be revamped.  Guy I know got a mail order bride at 60 or so. Got a kid now. When he dies, his wife, in her late 30's early 40's gets survivor benefits as well as the kid.   That ain't right.  He laughs about it.  This is a guy that served his country in Vietnam.  Retired from the reserves (might have been National Guard), conservative as hell until it come to his benefits.

Sorry but that is the way a lot of the baby boomers think.  They caused a lot of these problems. No offense to the baby boomers here.

Pisses me off.
