Confused Travolta

They just raised the age to 67

Yes, that has been known to be the case since 1983

Actually full "retirement" has been 67 for some boomers for a while. It's a sliding scale, born after 1960 and it's something like 67 and 5 months, after 1962 it's 68 and 7/254ths of a month -- basically all kinds of government solution complexity. We've known about the Ponzi scheme for a long time. In 1981 Reagan tried to fix the system with a Democrat Congress and managed to get a Social Security Opt-out program implemented. Galveston County, TX was the only community in the nation that took that option (that I'm aware of) and they've done much better than the typical SS "beneficiary." GW Bush tried to address it in his second term and chickened out after two excruciating minutes. We've known that SS is going to collapse before we do, and quite frankly most of my peers aren't so PO'd about what will happen to us as they are the screw job that will hit our grandkids.
Now that we are aware of the scope of the fraud, the insolvency issue is clear. Politicians and bureaucrats should be going to jail for life. There are more penalties for robbing a lemonade stand.

Every time it's been attempted to be addressed retirees would start up with a "hands off my social security" 3 stooges routine.

Social security/medicare/medicaid continues to be the largest parts of the budget that can't even be spoke of in terms of cuts or reforms, I'm an X'r and I fully expect it to be dead and buried before I am and I'm betting that's what's gonna have to happen for any type of reform to occur.

When we start up with the "hands off my social security!!!" routine what we'll hear is "Ummmm, there is no social security for us to take our hands off of, it's gone, because your parents and grandparents wouldn't allow us to even talk about it".

Reforming this steaming pile of bovine excrement called Social Security is a fools errand. I have to disagree slightly with your comment regarding your "parents and grandparents wouldn't allow us to even talk about it." Many of us have been demanding it be corrected or ended for decades before we drew a penny of SS. Not all of course, because democrats never want fraud dealt with in their gravy trains. Spineless politicians of both parties fed the claim they would lose elections if the political frauds did their job and "fixed" (properly managed) it. The whole system was designed to fail and increase the power of centralized "government" (tyranny). Proof is coming to light that SS insolvency is mainly due to fraud and abuse. Granting SS benefits to illegal aliens and so many other classes who never contributed a penny to the program robs from the future, again all by design. Cloward and Pivens described it- overload the system so that it collapses. The Commie revolution, which infested the FDR administration and began all these "programs", never intended for this to work. The US was just more resilient than they planned.

Not really a ponzi scheme. They blatantly told boomers that they were paying for the silent generations retirement. But yeah, it's bogus

Its paid out of current years taxes. It's never going anywhere until they replace it with something better like the money you pay in going to your retirement plan of choice and the government matches 10% or something. It's never going to be insolvent. It will require taxes to go up a few percent.

But Elon is gonna give ALL Boomers a personal robot as a slave so they can act naturally,
like the SLave Owner Personality Complex they inhabit, bossing around Optimus Rex
with demands of actions because the one or two kids they had are sick of their bullsh*t.
