Social Security chief vows 90 more years; a life coach agrees

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThose were hard stories to hear. On a different subject, Social Security's commissioner said today the program will last another ninety years.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is the new part since today's report on the raise. The trust fund still faces a major shortfall within the next decade.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us is coach Tamsin Okonkwo-Reyes.

4. TO

   Tamsin Okonkwo-ReyesThank you, Hank. I'm so pleased, because ninety years is a manifestation, and the universe has already cleared it, along with my parking spot.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo is that a plan, or a feeling? The shortfall is in the numbers, and the numbers arrive within ten years.

6. TO

   Tamsin Okonkwo-ReyesNumbers are just fear in a tuxedo. When the commissioner speaks ninety years aloud, the universe has already cleared it, plus my dental cleaning.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYour dental cleaning.

8. TO

   Tamsin Okonkwo-ReyesFully cleared. I hold my rose quartz when I say it. I call her the treasurer.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBut the treasurer is a rock. Let me ask you again: where does the money come from if the shortfall is real?

10. TO

    Tamsin Okonkwo-ReyesFrom abundance. I don't look at my own balance, Hank. The universe has already cleared my retirement, my taxes, and my neighbor's fence.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo what are you retiring on, specifically? I am asking for a number, not a mood.

12. TO

    Tamsin Okonkwo-ReyesA very full jar of coins, mostly quarters, and the treasurer stands guard. It's a journey.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is the ninety-year plan, then: quarters and a rock. Treasurer, do you have a comment on the shortfall?

14. TO

    Tamsin Okonkwo-ReyesShe's already withdrawn.
