Quote:"Stealing" from a retired cop?  Yes.  We're going to "steal" from everyone.  Promises were made that cannot be kept.  They already reduced the pension payouts for a Teamster's plan in the Midwest.  It was the only way to save the plan.  None of us is going to receive what was promised.  I don't expect to ever collect a dime from Social Security, and I've been paying into it at 2x the rate most people do.  I'm not complaining.  I would trade my SS account for $1000 right now if they would let me. 
Quote:This country is in deep deep trouble if SS does in-fact run out.
 

This is really off-topic for this thread, but there are big-time problems with SS.  I hate to break it to you StroudCrowd1, but SS "ran out" a long time ago.  Now it's just a bunch of "IOU's".


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
