raising the retirement age would be a good place to start {nm} Moviesnob Apr 16, 13:28

+1 It's the entire root of the problem at this point. Too many people living too long with not enough young people to contribute {nm} BSmurf Apr 16, 15:45

only because of the Baby Boomer wave. when Gen X retires and Gen Y is still in the workforce, the numbers will be flipped {nm} professor smartbrain Apr 16, 17:31

But not if the whole system is bankrupt due to the "low" benefits age vs increasingly extended lifetimes. BSmurf Apr 16, 22:51

Social Security isn't nearing "bankruptcy" any time soon professor smartbrain Apr 16, 23:24

I think you've got to take responsibility for retirement planning away from employers and put it in the hands of employees. {nm} RogerMore Apr 16, 14:31

they did that by moving workers off of defined-benefit pension plans into 401(k) and IRAs. it's been a uniform disaster professor smartbrain Apr 16, 16:41

But that's because the policy settings were wrong, not because the principle was. Opt-in? Boo! Really, contributions should be opt-out or RogerMore Apr 16, 17:33

raise the cap on the amount of earnings that are taxed for SS purposes. Right now, only the first $118,500 are taxed for future benefits. professor smartbrain Apr 16, 15:48

Alex I agree completely with your 1st paragraph. You got a little heavy handed in the 2nd para, but I mostly agree with that too {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 13:43

Actually, his first para is factually wrong. 24% of taxes go to funding social security with a further 8% to federal retirees and veterans RogerMore Apr 16, 14:15

Oh, if you're interested, there's another page on where state funding goes - though there's obviously a lot of variation from state to state RogerMore Apr 16, 14:21

Interesting site. I was assuming if they get rid of SS then they'll get rid of Medicare and the other Social Services {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 14:38

I think islander's point was that if you got rid of SS, people would respond by taking more responsibility for their retirement RogerMore Apr 16, 15:31

I don't know that it is "in the public interest that society has funded retirement". Its in the PI, that the retired population is able to islander Apr 16, 17:01

By "funded retirement" I don't mean redistribution. I mean that there's a system in place that ensures people's retirement is funded. RogerMore Apr 16, 17:38

but it's good to see someone agree that the 40 year redistribution of wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 10% needs to be reversed {nm} professor smartbrain Apr 16, 18:26

I'm a Sharks fan rooting for the Caps in the playoffs...I feel right at home! {nm} tealfan Apr 16, 07:27

haha, Caps currently have the longest drought with no Cup. I've been a fan and my family has had season tickets since 82. Moviesnob Apr 16, 09:59

Caps though are 6-9 in series when the lose game 1 and 7-15 after winning game 1 SO THIS PLAYS INTO OUR STRENGTH {nm} Moviesnob Apr 16, 10:27

Wait a minute - there's a team with a longer drought than the Blues? maybe that's only the always make the playoffs and then die record {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 11:30

its actually toronto BUT WE'VE NEVER WON {nm} Moviesnob Apr 16, 11:37

Quit whining - the Blues have never won and been around since 1967. You made it to the Cup finals in 97-98, the last Blues was 1969!!! {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 11:54

Other than the 97-98 season, looks like the playoff picture for the Caps is about the same dismal as the Blues - we can comiserate together {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 12:12

well if its not the Caps this year then GO BLUES GO {nm} Moviesnob Apr 16, 12:17

And at least you have the Rams and cardinals. Dc hasn't won a championship in the four major sports since skins in 91-92 {nm} Moviesnob Apr 16, 13:54

Cardinals - Yeah!! Rams - 3 decent years out of 20, 16 of those losing records and then there was 2007-2009 Yikes - set NFL futility record {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 14:44

Yeah but those good years were relatively recent and pretty damn good {nm} Moviesnob Apr 16, 14:58

2004, after that really bad. At least Redskins have had a few winning seasons and made the playoffs 3 times since then {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 15:15

Nats cards nlds game 5 two years ago trumps pretty much everything {nm} Moviesnob Apr 16, 20:03

Ok, you win there. That was a pretty bad collapse for Washington. (but lots of fun for the Cards :) ) {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 21:33

WHOOHOO! I win! We suck! {nm} Moviesnob Apr 17, 18:16

Although the Texas Rangers might challenge that trump with 2011 World Series Game 6 {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 21:37

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! and counting but Caps not the longest...try the Blues and the Leafs...From Wikipedia: {nm} StarBondFund Apr 16, 11:38

The Leafs haven't even been to a final since 1967, talk about futility... {nm} lapuckfan Apr 16, 15:02

Yes but you did win the Stanley Cup then. Blues 46 seasons and counting ... {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 15:27

But lets be thankful - we could be Islander fans - while they have won 4 Cups, they haven''t won a playoff series in 20 yrs (current record) {nm} JDolphin Apr 16, 15:35

ha, don't lump me in with Leafs fans {nm} lapuckfan Apr 16, 15:59
