Speaking strictly for myself, I think the retirement age should be increased. If that had been done from the start, with minute increases of the retirement age that corresponded with the increase in lifespan, then the thing would be on a sound actuarial basis today.
But to deny SS benefits to those who’ve saved and planned otherwise is not an acceptable solution.
So, what is the solution then? An ever-increasing tax burden for everyone else who wasn't lucky enough to be born before the ponzi scheme crashed of its own weight?
Sorry, but older folk are going to have to feel the same pain the younger folk are going to go through, unless you want to see actual intergenerational warfare.
