[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are banking on Baby Boomers to be more wedded to culture wars than their bank accounts.

I don't know why any Baby Boomer would vote for a Republican knowing this plan....but the GOP elite are betting they will. Identity politics are a drug.[/quote]

If it's anything like past republican plans to reform social security, it will exempt anyone within 20 years of retirement [/quote]

As someone under 45, I’ll be voting anyone proposing this.  Why should the generation who refused to adequately fund these programs get the full benefits while sticking our generation with their bill.  If there are cuts, then they need to apply across the board.[/quote]

Someone gets it. Why should Millennials and GenZ have to eat gigantic losses because Boomers refused to do anything about it and only set themselves up for cushy retirements through nothing more than gigantic transfers of wealth from the going to the old?  Boomers already fattened themselves up on the trough of prosperity while simultaneously ruining the country. Payback is a B, and they will get their benefits cut.  Why would any sane young person vote to keep the status quo for SS that's going to decimate the country for younger generations. I will vote for any politician who runs on a policy of cutting SS taxes, reducing benefits, and phasing it out all together. It is a money losing Ponzi scam and a much worse deal for younger people.

Distributing the losses equally is the only fair way.  This is what happens when the stupid govt over promises and can't deliver on a gigantic bureaucratic program that is wildly inefficient and provides negative ROI.  Gee, who'd have ever guessed that the govt stinks with your money? [/quote]

Certainly not the banks and financial corporations that have stolen and lost your money through greed and corruption.[/quote]
