ЦитатаАмериканскую пенсию начнут урезать в 2034, через 18 лет

That's one takeaway from the Social Security and Medicare trustees' annual report released Wednesday.
That doesn't mean retirees will get nothing by 2034. It means that at that point the program will only have enough revenue coming in to pay 79% of promised benefits.
So if you're expecting to get $2,000 a month, the program will only be able to pay $1,580.
Technically, Social Security is funded by two trust funds -- one for retiree benefits and one for disability benefits.
The 2034 date is the exhaustion date for both funds when combined. But if considered separately, the old-age fund will be exhausted by 2035, after which it would be able to pay just 77% of benefits. And the disability fund will be tapped out by 2023, at which point it could only pay out 89% of promised benefits.
To make all of Social Security solvent for the next 75 years would require the equivalent of any of the following: immediately raising the Social Security payroll tax rate to 14.98% from 12.4% on the first $118,500 of wages; cutting benefits by 16%; or some combination of the two.

Решения проблемы две: или повысить налог на 2.5% или урезать пенсии на 16% прямо сейчас. И это без учета демографического спада, кстати, который стыдливо замалчивают. Еще момент: повышение налога коснется всех, поскольку социальный налог платят даже нищие с минимальной зарплаты. Освобождаются от налогов доходы выше 118 500 долларов на человека, то есть налог будет на бедных,богатые его не заметят.

С пенсионным обеспечением медицины, когда бабок лечат забесплатно, тоже плохо, вся малина закончится вообще через 11 лет.

In terms of Medicare, the trustees project that the trust fund for Part A, which covers hospital costs for seniors, will run dry by 2028. That's two years earlier than they projected last year, due to lower than expected payroll taxes and a slower-than-estimated rate of reduction in inpatient use of hospital services.
But the exhaustion date is still 11 years later than had been projected before Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, now known as Obamacare.
By 2028, Medicare Part A would only be able to pay out 87% of expected benefits -- a figure that would fall to 79% by 2043 before gradually increasing to 86% by 2090.

"Денег нет, но вы там держитесь!" - это интернационально. И ведь ни моста в Крым не строят, ни "Сириянаш" нет. Может, стоит наконец-то включить мозги и подумать, что не в этом причина, а несколько в ином?
