The future Social Security problem we SHOULD be worrying about

9. Yup - a whole lot of working people are facing retirements on three hots and a cot

The idea that we can cut SS for those people is just ridiculous.

Even before I retire, I do not want to have to walk into the grocery store past a cordon of begging senior citizens. People who think we can cut SS for most recipients are just out of touch with reality.

You should apply for Medicaid once you get on Medicare - they will pay your Medicare premium and you will have no Medicare copays, which you cannot afford on that income.

Also food stamps. Don't be proud. You worked and paid into the system all these years, now it is your turn to receive. These programs exist for a reason.

When you don't earn much, you can't afford child care. It is cheaper to take care of them yourself.
