Reply #38: Thank you! The boomers have paid more than any other [View All]

group in history - better educated, better wages, more revenues by more people so that we have set aside the cash - some $3+ TRILLION in bonds to be used for our retirement.

In 2041, the oldest boomers (born in 1946) will be 95 - the youngest, born in 1964, will be 77; life expectancy around 80, so the truth is, few of us will be there, and the revenue stream we have built (and continue to build - SS revenues still outweigh outflows) will be sufficient to see us through.

Thieves are trying to steal our money by convincing us it's not "real" somehow - it is as real as any money can be, and it is indeed ours.

When you hear a thief break in, you usually take a shotgun downstairs with you. I suggest we follow usual procedures in this case.....
