Just curious what people think about survival/disaster in-relation to a major entitlement going away.
News today:
Obviously, things could change by then... but if it happens, how do you think that will affect society?
Will the young adults/adults be angry? Or perhaps they'll say "that's a long way until I'd need it..." and not care (and at that point... how effective would a senior be at causing a ruckus anyway...?)
Or will the older adults reaching the age that they would benefit from it... be angry enough to demonstrate that anger? None of this should be coming as a surprise to anyone that pays attention... but you can be sure plenty of people will have relied on those entitlements and are not financially prepared for retirement. I don't have anything to base this on, but I'm guessing fiscal responsibility isn't huge on the minds of millenials.
So... what do you think?
A. Nothing to worry about. Daddy Gubment will fix it somehow, with some new entitlement, something different.
B. People will riot in the streets!
C. People will riot in the streets.... in 40 years!
D. (Something different)

Government says Medicare will become insolvent in 2026, three years earlier than expected, Social Security to follow in 2034.
