Larry Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thats exactly what I'd do, glad you finally understand. Even though the current system, with no changes whatsoever, is sound enough to pay benefits for 35 years, and then continue paying benefits even after that, but it will have to pay 25% less than it is now? What do you intend to do with all the money that will be leftover, under your plan? All the money that wage earners have paid, that hasn't even been spent, yet?

I'd personally put any left over money into the space program, but there are tons of things we could do with the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
