I am sick and tired of listening/seeing Congress and every other Politician complain about Social Security and Medicare. The only reason the programs are in trouble is because Congress has been embezling the money since the 60s buy writing IOUs to the Social Security Trust fund by "buying" Government Bonds which have no value. Its time we as a group use our muscle and file either Federal Embezlement charges against the theives or a Class Action Suit forcing them to put the money back in the fund and stop taking money from it in the future. |

The “Reagan robots” elected to Congress won't accept that the number of people on Medicare and Social Security are poor by the time retirement sets in due to inflation. Major tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 also contributed to the decline in revenue 61 percent of Americans "always or usually" live paycheck to paycheck, • 36 percent of Americans say that they are unable to contribute anything to retirement savings. • A staggering 43 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved up for retirement. |
