@guyfelicella Stop all trade with America then. In fact act as though we don't exist entirely, then se how well you own economy does. Ours is bad but won't be noticeable worse off without Canada.
@jbmillen@money_cruncher The sucess rate reflects people who didnt take retirement savings seriously. Not to mention up until recently pensions were the most used retirement vehicle. Most recent retires that hit millionaire status do I fact make from their 401k. Matches make this even more common.
@ennui365 SS costs 1.6 TRILLION as of last year. Any number ending in billion fixes nothing. We're still overspending by a OVER A TRILLION the last few years. We could take all the money from all the billionaires and it would only float us about 5 years.
@kinginvestings Sure just expect services and goods to reflect that. Also expect all jobs not on minimum wage to have to adjust to compete. You think proces are high now, just wait. Any business that can cut blobs for AI or robotic replacement will. Great idea
@broadwaybabyto Theres been food recals every year for the last 2 decades. All the money in the world wont change the fact machines break and metal or parts fall in, coworkers dont wash their hands enough, someone will sneeze or worse in the food on the production line ,ect. Get real
@broadwaybabyto Imagine we wernt facing financial Armageddon being in so much debt that the intrest on it per year is almost as much as the entire defense or medicare budget last year. We have cut 1 entirely and a little from the other just to balanced. Hard choices coming very soon. This is 1
@GordonJohnson19 No but this is the right direction to get people off of relying on SS although the goverment shouldn't be needing to fund this. Literally normalize staring 529bs ,custodial roths or even a brokerage account at birth. 10 bucks a month they take over at 18+. Parents do your job.
@FinancialPhys Capitalism works in a vacuum with no external forces inflating and regulating them. In pure competitive markets poor businesses fail and ones that get to big usually collapse from either greed and multiple competitors price them out or lack of employees from poor conditions.
@jmbarry@BY1959 Cool so we all agree EVERY president on both
sides the last to decades has done a terrible job. Great so we're all not voting for either party right?
@littleukrainian@BY1959 Chart says outside of a couple of times excluding crisis(2009,2020), almost every year they found a ressin to outspend the previous year. But yes TRUMP is the only one "bankrupting" America. Get real.
@Kristyinblueash@BY1959 I mean, we are on track and rvery president outside of like 2 the last almost decades made it a point to increase the defect from the previous year. So really every president has added to the "bankrupting" of America.
@ninaturner Hey, someone gets it. Don't forget, both parties have known about the SS and Medicaid trust going bust in a few years and I bet they will do nothing to stop it and blame each other for letting it happen. Prepare people, they wont and cant save you.
@mjfree I think its humorous when someone posts a list and its missing all the notoriously unsafe locations like Detroit, Chicago, Millwakee, St. Louis, ect. Don't care what BS statistics anyone comes up with. In the US everyone knows where to avoid. Hell ask people from outside the US.
@_The_Prophet__ So your assuming a straight 40% when we're in a progressive tax system which makes your number incorrect right out the gate. Theres alot here that is very wrong and done purposely to make your point which again is incorrect.
@NewYorkStateAG This is the dumbest string of words I've ever seen. Parents your responsible for what your kids do on their phones. Jesus they literally have apps to stop them from even downloading them and can monitor everything they do and have contact with. Pathetic people sueing everyone.
@TheMaineWonk I mean did you think things were fine even if a report came out? Why do need it, when intrest on the debt was more expensive than national defense and catching up to medicare/ aid that really should have put up a monster red flag.
