Social Security

[vraiblonde]

Been paying into the SS system for 30+ years now. If they want to shut down the system or change the rules so that I do not get what was promised, then I want to know who is going to cut me a check for every single cent that I paid in as well as any employer match!

You bet. If they want to cut me a check for my contributions I'll gladly walk away.

I think my dad did too, he was a postal employee. Delivered mail forever on a rural route.

For your consideration ...

As for a solution - I’m in favor of requiring retirement plans, same as everything else. Retirement plans at least have the advantage that they earn money as well as accrue it. SS doesn’t and kinda thinking it CAN’T.

You and this fella. And he would know, right?
