re: #156 Simply Sarah

My issue is that you appear to be implying that SS is so far underwater and that it will cost so much that the only solution is to basically scrap the entire thing. I know you didn’t say it, but your comments remind me very much of what I’ve heard from people pushing the above line.

I said we need a plan, and we do, otherwise we just let things go as is until we are so broke we have no choice but to scrap social security. What is so wrong with pointing out that unless we finally start planning ahead now (even though it might already be too late) we do risk losing the program entirely?

Perhaps this is better? Image: Ostrich_Demotivator_by_JohnDamen.jpg
