Even better would be an end to progressive taxation. At the soundbite level, we can defend proportional taxation. Let everyone pay the same rate. If the dems want 90 percent tax rates, they have to hit everyone.
They didn’t say which century it would be solvent. I think they mean last century.
Life Expectancy has increased by 20% since SS began.
Even when Reagan made changes to the Program, they increased the so called Full Benefit Age from 65 to 67 but the “Early” Benefit age remained the same at 62. I guess they didn’t want to rock the Boat too much back then.
Want to keep SS solvent (yeah, I know), start increasing the Eligibility Age by one Month a Year for the next 36 Years. That would put the “early” Benefit age at 65 and the Full Benefit Age at 70.
All those younger People complaining that will never see a dime might actually receive a dime.
Want to save more Money, get a handle of Social Security Disability Fraud and adjust the Medicare Eligibility Age for Medicare to at least 68. 65 is the new 55 nowadays.
Here we go again...I’ve been hearing this since I was in my 20s...it’s 40 years now...same song and dance...different actors
They lie - democrats will SAY anything to win... if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor ... Insurance costs will go down for everyone... you can keep your health plan... blah blah blah... all lies.
Hope we get our share before it goes bankrupt...could use another little raise or two as we enjoy retirement.
If the ‘Rats are carrying coals to Newcastle that can’t be good for the Dems.
Looks like they’re worried about losing the geezer vote.
Let’s hope geezers can add, eh? Or at least refuse to be bought.
“The Social Security 2100 Act, which was introduced this past week in the House and the Senate, represents a sea change after decades dominated by concern that aging baby boomers would bankrupt the government as they begin drawing benefits from Social Security and other entitlement programs.”
It’s not the baby boomers who have put social security at risk.
Yinz don’t wanna hear this, but this is a winning issue for Dems. Just like student loan forgiveness. Those two things alone could drive massive flocks to the polls on their behalf.
Hard to beat Santa Claus.
The gov’t blocked this as it made more money for the people and gov’t could not steal the money.

They could offer me a pony and all the candy I want, and I still won’t vote democrat.
End Social Security?
Well, count on thousands of seniors getting on welfare, food stamps and SSI.
