S & P Dire Warnings

[piece-itpete]

This is great, thanks. I'll never say that again! [edit - the fica thing] It looks like it was actually state taxes. I'll keep looking.

This is really interesting:

I think not only more old folks but fewer workers to retirees is whacking the system. I wonder if factors were adjusted, what the like age to 1935 is now?

This is interesting too: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0780010.html

According to the first inflation thing I could find: http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/
the $31 from 1950 is only worth $307 today. Even the $374 in 1980 would only be $1082 today.

Sadly the $107 I cleared for 40 at my first job would be $238.
