There is no way I can possibly tell you what you'll be getting from Social Security in 2046, sll I can say with anyy certainty is that it will be no more then 80% of what you would be getting if you were getting it now if something isn't done now because by that point the trustfund would be entirely gone and all benefits would be paid based on the FICA payments coming in from workers at that point in time which only covers about 80% at current levels. Unfortunately there is no telling how big the workforce will be becaus people of your and younger generations are having leess childrn and that means a smaller future workforce which in turn means even less being paid in to cover current beneficiaries.

Also no, I won't accept any responsibility for how it is now since I'm part of the population that has been screaming for Social Security reform and being ignored by politicians for decades. The longer they keep putting it off the harder it will be to fix and the most likely necessary fixes will be less acceptable to people. I did everything I was supposed to do as my part of the Social Contract that is Social Security. From when I startedd working at age 13 until I became disabled and eligable for SSDI in my 50's I was taxed for the full amount of 6.5% on every dollar I earned and my employers were taxed for a matching amount of 6.5% As opposed to people like Elon Musk who only ever paid on the first $176,000 which he probably made that much in one week. Meaning the other 51 weeks of the year he paid zip. So if you want to blame someone either blam people of your generation allowing population growth to deecline, or blame politicians who do nothing because they know whatever they do some won't like it or blame everyone making more then $176,000 for not paying in their fair share. I can even be held acountable for the living longer thing because I haven't reached my 70's yet and chances ar better then not I never will.

They were so worried about the price of Joey's gas and eggs. 😂

Earlier that day, Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro told Fox News: “Tariffs are going to raise about $600 billion a year, about $6 trillion over a 10-year period.”

If that figure is correct, that would make it the third biggest tax increase in U.S. history, at 2% of gross domestic product. Only the tax increases approved in Congress in 1941, 2.2% of GDP, and 1942, 5%, were larger, according to statistics compiled by the Tax Foundation.

Trump Set To Announce Biggest Tax Increase On Americans In Decades

Despite the president’s false claims, Americans actually pay U.S. tariffs — meaning his “liberation day” announcement is about liberating Americans from their money

Sure I can, any idiot knows that the value of a property is first and foremost all about location, location, location. Even vacant properties because it's about the potential of what can be built there. Now granted Mar-A-Lardo is considered to be in a prime location but there are strings attached to it that make it different. The most significant being that it is registered as a historical site (was even before Trump lived there) The bad thing about historical sites are there are a lot of different rules, codes, zoning restrictions etc. This can often have a negative impact on a property's value because the owner can't just do things anyway they please making things like repairs after natural disasters and even home rennovations much more difficult and expensive.

See that's the problem with the arguements you make, you only consider the most obvious surface level aspect of things but fail to factor in the more subtle deeper aspects. Another thing your argument may not be considering is that a person selling a property can list it for virtually any price they want but that doesn't mean they'll ever get that price or that's it's true worth. This is especially true in the current climate where supply and demand for real estate is artificially out of balance as we still recover from what started during the pandemic and more recently is being made worse by Trump's stupid trade wars.

Facts exist. They are real. They can also be wrong and be replaced by newer facts that are more complete or more accurate.

Opinions are formed by a collection of facts. You might have an opinion on the best NFL quarterback or brand and model of car. New facts can change opinions.

Beliefs are emotional constructs. When confronted with uncomfortable facts, a belief system will lash out emotionally.
