In reply to the discussion: Dems Back Bigger Social Security Increases--(See what happens when the Dem LEFT Yells Louder ) [View all]truedelphi
(32,324 posts)When I was involuntarily signed up for Social Security, age nineteen,the deal was, I paid into the system and then at age 65 I would see some benefits.
Now I have to wait until 67. This raising of the age before us Baby Boomers can attain full bennies is an invisible, sleight of hand, financial rape and plundering of senior citizens.
Let's try and do that to the Congress critters. So you wanna get your bennies, Mr or Mrs Honorable Rep? How about waiting until you are 87?
Or age 88.
I have watched friends go into the system at age 62 or 63, and they are penalized at 15% or so each year. So they see a total diminishing of their bennies, since if they wait til 67, they are doing without heat or AC for those years. Or having enough food or needed medicines ..
