    before greenspan sent rates towards zero that wasn't the case. people over the past 2 decades (that's a generation) have been trained to move any "savings" into stocks or lose vs inflation.

                And therein lies a problem. People used to retire which allowed younger people to fill their spots in the corporate ladder.

                If people are working past 55/60/65, then where do the noobs go?

                          I'd like to think I beat Howard Dean to that line of thinking...

                            A lot of people are saying Trump is on coke, which is ridiculous. People on cocaine love to talk about their specific plans for the future.

                              Social Security is fairly simply solved. Eliminate the wage cutoff on the tax side and raise the retirement age another year or two to 68 or 69, and it's solvent for the next 150 years. Alternatively, change nothing, and in 20 years you'll have to cut payments to about 80% of current levels, but it'll still be solvent at that point.

                              Medicare is the big spiraling cost with no end in sight, because retirees live longer and use more medical care than they used to 9simply because we now have said medical care).
