[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that there will not be social security in 20, 30 or 40 years is a myth spread by right wing nutjobs trying to undermine support for social security.  Worst case scenario, which is highly unlikely, social security will still be paying 75-80% of projected benefits.

I guess I don't stay up at night worrying about the possibility that I will have to live off my investments and that the stock market will decline 50%.  Could those things happen?  Sure-- likewise I could have an aneurysm or be hit by car tomorrow.

I try to be conscious of my current good fortune, but I think there's a difference between that and being overwhelmed by the possibility of catastrophes occurring.[/quote]

Call me in 30 years when they have cut off (for the wealthy) or curtailed (for everyone else) our social security benefits, brother or sister, and then perhaps we can commiserate over that 75-cent cup of coffee that still exists from 30 years ago.  The more things change . . . [/quote]
