How Bad Will Peak Be?

[vantexan]

It took a very liberal and groundbreaking political movement to get the programs you guys will draw from to get them passed into law. Yet not a single one of you would even venture a guess as to what you would do today if that legislation failed to pass. Perhaps it's a reality you find too frightening to even ponder? BTW Texas so you have a long outstanding and unpaid federal income tax liability? Measured in hundreds? I have a federal income tax liability every quarter measured in thousands.

Good for you. But for the millionth time Social Security was the law of the land before I was born. I didn't have to position myself to take advantage of it. It was automatically taken from my pay. And I will receive my part of it just like everyone else. What I worry about is the huge amount of spending and future spending that might crash the system and take away my retirement income. That's what I and tens of millions of retirees are frightened by. It's not just because it benefits me. It benefits everyone and should be made solvent for future generations. If you play with fire today you're going to make people suffer tomorrow eventually.

So, you’re going to live in a tent in Argentina you can’t be serious

100%. $300 or so a month living expenses so that I can get my home paid off before I'm 66. At some point will get a nice enough apartment and live a regular life.

Camping is a big deal in Argentina. Campgrounds everywhere. Yes I'm retired.

Stop allowing Fox News to continue to frighten you and get behind Social Security 2100, the initiative designed to keep it solvent for decades into the future. Being that you're way too late in life to still be in debt period no one is going to fault you for trying to get out of debt within the limited number of years you have left . At the same time taking advantage of a dire set of economic conditions in a foreign country that doesn't exactly have a rich history of political stability and owes it's soul to the IMF is a very extreme and given where you're going borderline dangerous undertaking. Americans want nothing more than to deleverage but not bad enough to take the measures your taking. If you want to take advantage of what's there fine but demonizing people who are trying to get the hell out of there anyway they can is sheer hypocrisy.

Show me the people trying to get out of Argentina any way they can? Argentina's population is growing. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how things work, how safe places are, quality of life, etc. And there are plenty of articles online from numerous sources of all political stripes about the health of Social Security. Can't remember the last time I saw it discussed on FOX. I need to get that house paid off to give us some rental income in case they actually do end up cutting our SS benefit in 2034 if not earlier.

Good lord, bacha sure does have a crush on vantexan. Every damn thread SMH.

And BTW, which administration is turning record numbers away at the border? It wasn't Trump. And it wasn't Trump who told the people of that region...."Stay in your homes".

Oddly enough, when you enforce the policies (including separation of families for processing), they KNOW to stay home and you don't have to turn them away.

You've GOT to be smarter than you're letting on.

"There's nothing wrong with Social Security but please get behind this initiative to save it!"

Every post is a long winded rambling accusation that van is taking advantage of a program that he paid into.

Argentina has an inflation rate of 24% an unemployment rate of 18+%, and defaulted on it's debt 5-20 . Oh, BTW...gay marriage is legal. Sounds like a really great place. But if you're that hard up that you have to leave your wife behind and go there then you've got to be REALLY hard up.

Americans, Brits, and Europeans are loving it there. Name one other place on Earth where you can get twice the amount you exchange into local currency? Last I heard gay marriage is legal in the U.S. but cost of living is 75-80% more.

You sound like someone who's jealous, you must be really hard up. Very sad. Thoughts and prayers for you ma'am.
