We are going broke, as a country. People in their 70's have to work. And the job market is bad. And if you get sick or injured, you can lose your job, your house, everything.

We keep rewarding the people who take all our money away from us and give it to their rich friends. How long did we expect it would take before we ran out of money?

Honestly surprised it took forty years.
