Now that Pelosi is trying to steal our 401K plans to supplant the bankrupt SS system, how will those of us who plan to retire in the future exist?
Not too dang good….in communist china there is no social security net…you get old and your kid takes care of you…no kid, you keep working, no work….you die.
Russia gives a pittance to elderly…roughly the amount required to pay the rent…and nothing more….wheeling and dealing and stealing are required to put food on the table.
The nordic countries are all right for the elderly…but depend on others for their military protection (they pay for their social programs by having almost no defense department or navy at all…depending on the USA and others to defend them in time of trouble)
The USA could, I suppose, reduce the Army to 20,000 or so and cut the navy down to about 6 or 7 destroyer escort class vessels and then we could use the money on other things…let's see, who could we get to defend us in case of trouble? The Australians? The French?
hmmmm….sort of a problem there…..

Pretty bad, if you mean the real Socialts countries – like the now-defunct USSR.
The problem is that the generation that's retiring is bigger than the one next to it, and so there are not enough workers to support the retirees… So SS goes bust. But I hope she gets stopped before she seriously taps into the 401(Ks)!!!

The elderly in socialist countries are penniless and are at the mercy of government bureaucrats. Health care is very poor and life expectation is short.
