30. Cut to social security and raising the age on Medicare

Sat Apr 6, 2013, 09:13 AM

Apr 2013

When we have a generation of workers who won't have pensions, Many who didn't have 401ks with a company match, who now live in a world were savings accounts earn .25 percent is cruel and an example of how out of touch the well to do who advocate for such nonsense are. We live in a world where one can give their best years to work yet never be able to retire unless they are lucky enough to have gambled in the stock market and won.

O and good luck saving for retirement (much less investing in a rigged market) when we continue to lose good paying jobs to other countries.
