When boomers were """paying their way""" for social security, the average life span was 72 years. When SS was first implemented, the average lifespan was 68 years.
Now boomers are bankrupting their kids by living to 95 quadrospazzed on a lifeglug. 1% of the entire US federal budget is spent on keeping fat diabeetus boomers alive on dialysis. More boomers are buying houses than zoomers.

At 72, people should have their social security cut.
Just die, boomer. Everyone my age knows we're never getting Social Security, if you didn't save up for your old age, then you shouldn't fucking live.

Social security, like any other form of socialism, will never work unless you have a strong homogenous, intelligent, and tight knit community that excludes foreigners.

Social security doesn't work because it's not a fund. It's a direct tax transfer that is inherently unfair. It would never work in Japan either.

Singapore has compulsory health savings accounts. That works.

Combined with disability/dismemberment insurance, this makes the most sense. The problem with implementing something like that in the US is that the Feds have been using Social Security inputs for everything else for decades.
A large part of the insolvency is that the money has been used as a slush fund. This is more true under Democrats but everyone has done it because it's right there in the coffers.

SS also needs to be means tested immediately. The only way to really end socialism is to turbo charge it until it does under the weight of its own contradictions.
