Ok so Social Security. An amount of money taken out of your paychecks so that when you get old you have some money.
Ok so here's the debate: Should Social Security be cut? Ok so for my opinion Social Security was never meant to be permenant so its about time to get rid of it. Ok and for those people that have already be working for a while and have had money taken out the government should just right them a check now not when they are old. Because you will not live long enough to see all the money that was taken from you. |

there would be problems with it even if we weren't in debt. the problem is what kryo already said, it's not currently sustainable. we're going to be paying out more benefits than we have workers to cover them. the smaller generation behind the baby boomers has to pay for the entire baby boom generation. the deficit is the problem because of the sheer number of people we're gonna have to support. debt just makes the bad situation worse.
on a side note, just think how much SS that couple trillion we've spent in iraq could have payed. |
