I’ve always considered that the money they’ve been taking out of my check since I was 15.5 years old was for my social security when I retired - basically, they were saving it for me and I would start receiving it back when I retired. What I see now is that they’ve been taking my money the entire time and there is nothing left for me (or any of us who have been paying). They like to blame “Boomers” (as if we had a say as to when we were born) and even if they meant there are too many “Boomers” that still doesn’t account for the fact that each of us had an account and we were all paying in our entire lives and the US government stole our money. That’s a class action suit.

Great work Fred! We are so deep into this. I am one of the millions of "elder orphans" with no family. I am doing my best to survive. When I know I should be thinking about taking advantage of LIEHP or rent rebates, Musk is on his way to cut them.

I fear scenes reminiscent of the Great Depression when the homeless population soars, soup and bread line extends around blocks. Then we will remember John Steinbeck words if you're broke and need a hand, go to the poor. they're the ones willing to help
