There are some relevant issues, but am always skeptical of anything that cuts benefits earned to benefit those that didn't contribute as much. I do feel sticking it to rich people saying they need to pay their share is a crock. Should be shared by everyone equally as a percentage. Raising the retirement age to 69 sucks as not ALL people live longer. Will have to review this more in depth, but I would not call it a permanent save. I would however vote for it if they did away with congressional retirements.

Isn't it strange that there never seems to be a shortage of funds for welfare projects used to purchase votes?

Amen to the congressional retirement aspect. There is no way the people's representatives in a republic should have a retirement system that sets them apart and far above the people they ostensibly serve. They have turned public service into a private trough that only benefits a few.

The Ponzi scheme called Social Security has always been based on the premise that most contributors wouldn't live long enough to collect. Raising retirement age just compensates for us old farts living longer.
