Like Glenn Beck says - I am gonna wrap duct tape around my head to keep it from exploding.
Promises are made to be broken...and will be, in this case, regardless. So how about a 50% cut in "promised" Social Security benefits, but in return workers become exempt from Federal and State income taxation when they reach retirement age? They can work as long as they want, and keep all the money they make.

My son-in-law recently asked me to explain the current Right vs Left politics. I thought carefully for a bit and answered him like this. Consider Taxes. Every Left pol. knows that when taxes are already high further increases lead to lower revenues. So you have to ask yourself why they do it. The answer doesn’t really matter pick one. They are lying, they think we are stupid, whatever. The bottom line is they know that whatever new program they are proposing the tax increases for won’t actually be funded. How can we trust such people with our future? So it really is as simple as this. We don’t need to impute any agenda or conspiracy. Any pol. who wants to raise taxes can’t be trusted to “manage the shop”. We can go down the list from there on immigration, gun control, etc.
