What do you think the odds are that SS is still there when Mott goes to take out money? At age 30, what do you think the odds are that it will be there for me? My dad just turned 70, and delayed his application until this year so that he could max it out, since he's still working full-time, and can afford to wait. But he's an older Kaboomer, so it's not broken yet.
Anyway, that's why God invented Roth IRAs, 401(k)'s, and other forms of long-term investment.

who gives a fuck about Mott.......just keep pouring money in until I get done taking out money.......
Personally, I just use a rasp to maintain a goat's hooves. Not sure what experiences you have with them.
Use your imagination

Invest to the max matching contribution on the 401k and, if possible enough to drop you into a lower tax bracket. After that put the balance up to the max contribution into a Roth IRA. Then hold congress feet to the fire. The SS shortfall is an easy fix given the political will.
I couldn't agree more.
The only problem with 401-k is underinvesting.
Fixing S.S. is as simple as removing the Cap and if needed, means testing.

I think raising the cap and if necessary the payroll tax would better than means testing. Social programs that benefit all are the one that work the best.

Didn't know that Carter was a sub captain, I thought he was a peanut farmer.

He was both. Carter was a graduate of the US Naval acadamy where he graduated with an engineering degree. He trained in the Navy's nuclear program under Admiral Hyman Rickover. He was one of the first Naval officers to skipper a nuclear powered sub. He left the navy to take over the family's farming business when his father died and shortly thereafter began his political career.

Carter lead the incidence response team on the US side during the Chalk River incident where there was the partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor. He directed a maintenance team where they had to lower men a couple minutes at a time into the reactor to disassemble it. Took nearly a year. It influenced his policies significantly later when he was President.

He signed a loyalty agreement with the Republican Party during the primaries and is strictly pushing forward the Republican platform and has been vehemently against any left leaning policy and it's idiotic to think any different. He's filling his cabinet with Goldman Sachs people, he's an Oligarch which suits the republican establishment just fine.
I never mentioned anything about Clinton you are the one that framed it that way which seems to show you are the one displaying signs of hyper-partisanship proving my point.

It wasn't Boomers that got trump elected.http://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/20...XmDZFL/story.html?event=event25?event=event25
EVEN BEFORE the election, Americans were asking just how we got here — to this sullen moment of national reckoning. Since November, the autopsy has dragged on so long it seems there could be nothing left to dissect. But the search continues, because no truly satisfying answer has yet been offered. Deplorables, deportables, economic malaise, rural resentment, coastal hauteur whatever — these are just symptoms. The root illness remains undiagnosed, but here it is: the baby boomers, that vast generation of Americans born in the first two decades after World War II. The body politic rests on the slab because boomers put it there, because decades of boomerism produced the problems and disaffection of which 2016 was merely the latest expression.
It’s a shocking hypothesis, but then again, America has suffered a shocking decline. In 1971, Alan Shepard was playing golf on the moon. Today, America can’t put a man into orbit (or, allegedly, the Oval Office) without Russian assistance. Something changed, and that something was the boomers and the sociopathic agenda they emplaced.

Who did then?

Those who voted for him...many very young, and impressionable. Most gen X,Y,Z ers, or whatever they might be called, stayed home. Same for minorities, who will now see what happens when a candidate who called for a national stop and frisk program takes power. Elections are decided by the 10% in the middle. Many of them college students.

Boomers are the largest "block" aren't they? And we know seniors vote more than any other group so while I don't have numbers in front of me it reasons boomers voted for him in the largest group

When the Millenials get to hold the levers of power they will probably fuck everything up as they are hopelessly naive.

I would say the majority of boomers are either Dem or Rep. Neither of those actually elect a POTUS. If you don't want to accept that, then simply research those who chose not to vote in this election, by age.
