The go-broke dates for Medicare and Social Security have been pushed back as an improving economy has contributed to changed projected depletion dates, according to the annual Social Security and Medicare trustees report Monday.
Still, officials warn that policy changes are needed lest the programs become unable to pay full benefits to retiring Americans.
Haha, thanks. In fairness, I am kind of an asshole, but I believe in social security. I’ve paid into it for over 20 years now, and not even my parents (who also paid into it for decades) will benefit from it. Angrys up the blood.
I’m working my ass off because - never mind my own retirement - the people who raised me are going to need a ton of my help, and I’m like… we all paid into it… why? It was supposed to be “you pay in for people now, and we’ll take care of you later”. I’m glad other people got my money all this time, but they fucking forgot that second part, man.
