If republicans and democrats both agree that social security needs fixed, why have we
done nothing?

Because the Democratic idea of fixing it is to jack up the contributions of the employers, and the Republican idea of fixing it is to get employees to bet their whole kitty on fur-bearing trout farm stocks. And never the twain shall meet.

Politicians not keeping promises?
How shocking.... Both parties have different plans. Both think the other party has an idiotic plan. Both parties are right. |

That's why I'm glad I'm a teacher, I don't pay in to Social Security.

That's bizzaro - I had never heard of this and did some quick research. You won't be able to collect SS either, right? Or, did you work an SS qualifying job as well (or do you plan to) so you can collect?

They already spent the money, moved the retirement age up and created a point system to keep people with low incomes from collecting until they are 80. Its kind of too late. What they need to do is stay out of war for a year or two and put all the money back they will probably have a surplus.

The fund should have stood alone. It has been one big piggy bank to rob and plunder.
