I was under the impression that people who were born after 1970 weren’t the people who f—-d up Social Security. I believe that “accomplishment” lies squarely on the shoulders of the folks getting ready to collect now. Not that I want my parents to get short changed for being in the same generation of those who made the decisions to screw up a perfectly good system, but it’d be nice to see a little accountability from those who would like benefits pushed back for those of us who were in diapers when the decision to take the SS surplus was made.
Push back my retirement benefits? F–k that! I did nothing wrong. I’ve been paying into SS since I was 15. Fix it now. I shouldn’t have to pay for your generation’s greedy ways. It’s not like the people making the decisions couldn’t do math. They knew the size of the Boomer population was going to cause a world of hurt but took the surplus anyway and blew it on whatever. Now they want to gradually increase the retirement age of my generation after their generation will be dead. Convenient.
