While I agree that the Constitutionality of both Medicare and Social Security has always been in question, care has to be taken here.I'm going to reserve judgment until I see what they come up with. I'm not somebody who approves of Social Security/Medicare anyway on Constitutional grounds. But in consideration of the fact that they do exist... they must be dealt with. Entitlement expenses are out of control and wrecking us.
Based on this one article, it sounds like this board can only make recommendations to the legislature, and while I have no trust left for Obama appointees, it's hard to imagine they could do much worse than Congress has done so far.
Promises have been made and people have planned their lives around those promises. Those promise must be honored.
Yes, they should. But... long term a Constitutional solution must be found.
Exactly.
