Or if you know, having greener spaces and roads underground are actually better for climate change. I’m not sure if this would help in that matter or not, but I think it’s a possibility. Not everything is about our made up concept of money.

Interesting that the Medicare has a note that the amount includes offsetting receipts like premiums.

I would argue average taxpayers don’t know it exists and a ton of them, particularly older ones have a very hard time with technology. I’ve had to show my mother in law how to get a url from her phone to her desk top, I’ve explained what the read mode means in Firefox, and numerous other things. Easy for you doesn’t mean easy for everyone.

social security is still a SELF-FUNDING program

[Insolvency is] what happens when you detach expenditures from taxes.

So while boomers are simultaneously enjoying low taxes and reaping the benefits of social security, the fund will run out of money before it can have any chance of paying out for millennials.

It’s not like the social security taxes I’m paying now are being “set aside” for me
