Let alone they don't exist. Is that Santos guy still in congress? He's the worst.

I think we should aim to do away with the sex/gender based rules. No doubt there needs to be some exceptions but this doesn’t seem like one of them.

It should be tied to life expectancy of 60-year olds. Basing it on general life expectancy is not reasonable because that's from birth. a healthy 60 year old is expected to live to about 81 currently, whereas a healthy 21 year old is expected to live to 76. A healthy 65 year old man is expected to live to 83; a woman 86. SS is not built to support ~20 years. It is solvent if you have enough workers to support the retired class, but that retired class is huge compared to the working age population. Nobody in our generation should have the expectation of retiring with SS benefits at 65. It should be like 72 frankly.

But the whole "people don't want to retire" is about as ridiculous as well every other gop talking point. They aren't going to win over the demographics that don't vote for them with that kind of argument. 72 sounds about right, but it has to be an argument about solvency and fiscal responsibility. Not "Work sets you free" lol
January 17, 20232 yr Being over 60 now, the only way I see myself retiring is if I'm living with one of my kids paying them minimal rent and I can afford supplemental insurance and my beach cottage. Car expenses too naturally. As long as I'm well and feeling good, I simply have no plans whatsoever to quit working until I keel over. Better for me to have the higher salary and benefits.

Republicans pretend to care, but they're all liars who know they can use it as a bludgeon to hurt Dems. They're 100% on board with it as long as it's Republicans spending.

January 18, 20232 yr Nothing like a little GOP political violence.

January 18, 20232 yr Republicans are going to let the economy crash, without really knowing the consequences of default on the debt. Get Ready. Raising the debt is for money already spent and not for future spending
