I was hoping that the conservative wet dream of destroying unions and privatizing social security would have died by the 2030s. Now I'm hoping for another Gabbard to fix them.![]()
Destroying unions is basically over, but even Clinton Administration officials said the only way to make social security solvent is through partial privatization
The CBO (I think its the CBO, definitely a government agency if sorts) projected it going bankrupt in 2040. When the plan passed that was about 10 years away. It really was crunch time. Democrats get a public option for health care. Republicans get social security. Anyways, there will be the second term of grace walker and then that will have covered the 28 years I talked abt. Any last issues youd like to see resolved?
That's interesting, didn't know that.
By 2029, people will be living even longer, though, and so raising the retirement age to 70 by ~2040 isn't a huge issue.
Interesting TL and projection of the next two decades. (Plus altenrate for the Obama years). I think the lost Hillary Presidency is a rich area for exploring what might have been (and could yet be).
Is "Grace Walker" a prototype figure as opposed to a real person, or someone you know of who isn't well-known yet but could be this person in the future?
