    Pretty sure they aren’t upset at the government not turning a profit or taking care of people.

    social security is still a SELF-FUNDING program

    [Insolvency is] what happens when you detach expenditures from taxes.

    So while boomers are simultaneously enjoying low taxes and reaping the benefits of social security, the fund will run out of money before it can have any chance of paying out for millennials.

    It’s not like the social security taxes I’m paying now are being “set aside” for me
