It's time to offer the archaic system of ss as an option to everyone.

You have hit the pin on the point.All I hear are talks about taxes. Why is no one talking about the drivers of the debt? Why is all the pressure and focus on the GOP? They have budged on revenues. Shown a willingness to move the discussion forward but I've heard zero talk about the entitlements that actually drive the debt.
I'm beginning to believe that democrats are intentionally pushing the issue to the brink in order to score political points with the thought that the GOP will simply cave.
Believing the bullshit from the left will be this countries downfall.Raising the age requirements is a bandaid on an open wound. This is the time for serious reform. A true leader could easily emerge on this issue were one to exist.
Raising the age is far from a bandaid. it will fix Social Security and do much to make Medicare more solvent
Raising the retirement age won't do diddly to help the debt or deficit. And in fact because of the added cost of doing might actually have many un-intended consequences.
There's no obligation on the part of employers to keep old employees around..for one.
Do the math.
What added cost? What are you even talking about?
Most people depend on employer provided benefits for a plethora of services.
Employers tend to let go of older workers and without reason.
That's the reason for SSI in the first place.

The reason for SSI is to help someone who is disabled and unable to work.
the current budget has the current make up.Social Security is not a driver of the deficit.
to quote the current GOP, "whatever happened to personal responsibility?"Raising the retirement age unfairly dings those on the lower end of the income scale. Busting ass in a boiler room is no easy task for a 60 year old. It is unbearable for a 69 year old.
You are going to have to plan for your own retirement. If you have a job you can't do till you are 70, you need to look at other options. You can work at Walmart in your 60s.
Or else you can structure your retirement where you pay more into an IRA/401K so that you will have extra funds and retire early
That would be a reasonable way to go about it if the average blue collar job paid enough to save a substantial amount for retirement. It does not.
and the right is completely honest? the right claimed when Clinton proposed to raise taxes that it would destroy the economy and cause a recession. in fact it did the exact opposite and led to one of the greatest periods of prosperity and job creation we have seen.Believing the bullshit from the left will be this countries downfall.Raising the age requirements is a bandaid on an open wound.
