$0 contribution, $0 pension. With some exceptions (the disabled), that's the way it is now anyway.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Who are these hypothetical people who don't work a day in their lives, and don't have a husband/wife contributing for them, while not being disabled? Do you know any?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

I am talking about people who can't save money on a pension plan because they're overburdened with debt. They can work their ass off and still crumble under debt.Originally posted by DanS

Those suffering from overdebt are actually a fairly sizeable part of the French society (400,000 families), and I don't doubt there are many in the US too.
I'm talking about real people here. What do these real people do when they're too old to work, and get zero as a pension?"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

For all of their faults, the Frenchies breed better than most.
It would be a shame if this thread turned into a Bush social security reform debate.

I was just listening to NPR and they were saying that Delphi could stiff GM on up to $12 billion for parts delivered to Delphi but never paid. It gets worse, under the terms of the spin off contract if Delphi went bankrupt in the first 8 years after the spin off then GM owed all the workers for their pensions. That cost is estimated at an additional $12 billion.
GM is now on the hook for $23.5 billion just from this one action.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

If you think that the USA will have problems with an ageing population, then you've got to look at Japan. They're going to be sooooooooooooo ****ed. They have one of the lowest birth rates in the world and very low immigration compared to America or Europe...Stop Quoting BenComment
