Wanted to share this as a resource since I started doing a deep dive on the financial implications during one’s retirement years of being a homemaker earlier today in light of a new law in Florida stopping the practice of lifetime alimony.
Sure, but the US fuckin loves old people. It’s the one thing we will spend money on. Most countries spend 3x-4x more on elder services than general social services for all ages. The USA (can’t forget my homie Japan, them too) spends TWENTY times more on shit for old people. I doubt this will change until all the boomers are dead and the distribution of ages in the USA changes.
The one thing republicans and Dems will fix together is social security. Not until the last minute, of course.
We do spend 20x more on old folks, but IMO that’s mainly because we’re lacking social safety nets for those not yet of retirement age compared to most other countries.
