You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned Social Security-- that's where the rescue efforts need to be concentrated.
Student debt problems are entirely self-inflicted. Students taking the loans made their own decisions. Social Security users have been paying for decades (not taking, as the student loan recipients were). Social Security users, especially those who have not yet started collecting, have worked decades to get their benefits back.
If students get their loans paid off before Social Security is fixed, it's a certain sign of corruption. (Votes for money.)
Use your votes to make government effective. Vote for politicians that pledge to fix Social Security.
- gumby 5y agoDon’t be distracted by all the elaborate theatre of “trust fund” and “paying in”. There is zero chance of you not getting social security payments.
- RickJWagner 4y agoAgreed there will be a Social Security payment. But it will be reduced from today's levels. Remember, older folks don't have time to remain in the labor force (unlike younger people, who will benefit from rising paychecks.) At the end of the spectrum, there is only what has been saved (which is reduced by inflation) and pensions, Social Security.
