The answer has always been right in front of these cowards for this and the deficit. We don’t have a spending problem, but revenue problem. The current bill exposes that even more.

I'm pretty sure the plan is probably to make it so most of those who would collect it by that time would be dead before they would able to start collecting. I mean the tax cut is to make the rich richer, so they won't need to worry about it. Call me paranoid but I don't think so.

For decades excess SS contributions went to the general funds and used to decrease taxes on the wealthy. Now the time has come to pay it back and the greedy wealthy don't want to give it back.

It’s probably still conventional wisdom among most financial planners to recommend that people delay taking their benefits for as long as possible. The longer Republicans hold on to power in Washington, the more obviously wrong the conventional wisdom will become.
