Pick some cutoff age, like people currently 40 and under, and raise the retirement age to say 75 or something. Politically impossible. A complete nonstarter. It’s going to be monetized. All of it. $100 trillion and rising every day.

If you didn't put anything in then you get nothing. Might work you have to screw gen x bc they are the smallest population. No real way around it… well other than monetizing it which is obviously the path global govts are taking bc they are cowards and people are entitled morons

You can't fix or do anything well intentioned in this country anymore without pissing someone off. In the end they gave a 0% interest loan to the government. I can think of worse tragedies in life.
