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?

The Social Security program was sound at one time and had an excess. Then congress decided to make changes such as SSI where many of the beneficiaries never paid into the program. Another issue is congress has been using social security funds as their cookie jar

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.
