Social Security To Go Bust By 2030: CBO

Well, it's still 16 years from now.

By then I'd be 87 years old , maybe I'll be dead and buried and won't have to worry about it.

I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

What you are saying is that self-interest determines your worry. I would suggest that is a dangerous precedent because if younger workers vote like you do, then the system is toast. The polling data that I see suggests that self-interest is what dominates this issue. Five years ago, people had no interest in worrying about the system. They largely would be dead before any crisis emerged in the system. Now it is between 50-60% of the public that expects to retire after the Trust Fund is exhausted. So what is their self-interest.
 
And I've already directed you to read about potential GDP and its effect on the economy, but you refuse to do so. Not sure how else the concept can be explained when you cover your eyes and ears. You might as well just state that you believe potential GDP is a worthless economic concept.

All you are doing is repeating a line you have heard, believed and swallowed as gospel because it agrees with your own preconceived beliefs. You are unable to explain it nor are you able to answer my questions about it.

This speaks volumes about your convictions (or lack of them) as well as your inability to actually engage in debate beyond stating a position.

You have nothing except your own beliefs which result in you giving lip service to something you cannot even explain.

You just described yourself.

As expected, you still are impotent to explain your own position. I explained mine - and you had no questions about it other than your ideological objection which I took apart with a simple request that you were unable to answer.
