Try this plan. The numbers work out.


What do we know about OASI?

We know it will not be able to pay 100% of promised benefits.

We know even if it could pay 100% of promised benefits, the ROR would be between zero and 2% for most retirees.

We know a person making $4 an hour if allowed to put their money into US Savings bonds or US Treasury Notes would do 39% better than OASI will pay.

We know raising the retirement age is another scam and will just kill off another 16% of those who might have collected OASI making it a lottery.

We also know that the life expectancy has not changed significanlty past 65 in the past 60 years.

We also know that even if we went cold turkey and stopped shut down OASI today and paid only those who were "vested" so to speak we would need close to $10 Trillion.

So what do we do? Well after reducing the problem down I propose the plan listed below. It has been analyzed using a fairly sophisticated OASI model which so far for over 20 years has been correct (much more so than Social Security's) The date of bankruptcy has only move 2 years in all this time. The date of cash negative has moved about one year (2016-2017).

Modeling OASI is fairly easy if you just run the numbers.
