It is all a load of BS, I worked up until 73 yet the Bush administratuion forced me to take my SS payments at 65. So naturally given the salary that I was earning those payements were taxed at the top rate.
All this talk about fewer workers to fill in behind the baby boomers, how so - are they planning on outsourcing every damn job?

I wish the rest of our government outlay programs had an equally rosy future.

Yeah, 2043, on IOUs.
The Dems have a different way of screwing recipients - just never give them a cost of living increase.

Hey not to be snarky
SS will be a recurring topic because it's about to cost us a LOT.

The government's power, on both sides of the pond, to take control of the funds, or manipulate the system to gain control of those funds, make any differences irrelevant.

The governmment here does not need to sieze private pension funds since non of them are fully funded in any case.
