I vote for the person, not their party; that being said, I usually vote for a Democrat and will most likely do it again (Bernie).

What is it that you like about Bernie?

Technically, there is no SS trust fund. For 2014, SS ran a $39B deficit. So just to make payments to all the recipients, the government is already borrowing 10's of billions each year. It's just a money in, money out routine. The big blow will come in during the coming years where the baby boomer generation start collecting in full with no where near the workers to cover it, not even close. Never mind the Medicare explosion as that generation grows old. We're in for a rude awakening. And no one wants to do anything about because it's political suicide.

It's a Ponzi scheme.

It didn't used to be . we actually had a surplus at one time. Until the government did some more creative accounting.

Yeah if the government hadn't stolen billions of dollars hell maybe trillions from SS it wouldn't be too bad.

I would check into when your progression started. If you went thru the class and drove utility( delivered ground packages) you could have started your progression before you were hired on full time. The reason I'm saying this is if this is not the case.
