suh_fan93 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Also the books they do allow could be used to build some type of cover for hiding or maybe even as a shield. See? We're smart. 1 Link to comment

We need true leadership that can guide us, not ones bought by lobbyists. With a shrinking work force as the baby boomers retire, and longer life expectancy, it's putting a squeeze on both ends of Social Security. Not enough payers and too many recipients living longer than anticipated. There will need to be a change, collecting more, raising the retirement age, controlling health costs are all things that need to be addressed and find a happy medium. Whether I like it or not, the sad reality is, there needs to be a change. Cutting it, IMO, is not the way to go. Problem is how do we fund more when so many that are funding SS currently are living paycheck to paycheck? To me it seems clear we need a multi-tiered plan. IMO, step one, review corporate earnings and develop a tax system where corporations can still make healthy profits but also be incentivized to pay a living wage. Step two, we need to have a government that isn't in it to exploit the people for their own wealth and power and do a much better job of fiscal planning for both the now and the future for all citizens, not just those in higher tax brackets. Part of which should be no current politician or immediate family member holding shares in stock and re-adjust their pension/benefit plans. This only incentivizes them to look after their best interest. Re-prioritize how federal money is spent. More should be put in infrastructure, education, and healthcare, shifting some of the resources away from private military machine. Thirdly, we need to look at and develop a way to control lobbyists. Lobbyists/corporations have too much say in federal laws and regulations and prioritize their best interests over everything else. Link to comment
