From the article:

Republicans must consider adopting a reform plan like that proposed by Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Texas, in the 114th Congress. Rep. Johnson's plan reworks how Social Security benefits are distributed and increases the age at which workers can collect benefits to 69.

Sounds good. Who helped Rep Johnson write this proposal? Which organizations had input?

Yeah, that’s great except companies are laying off many people in their fifties who then find it extremely difficult to find another job. Tell them they won’t get Social Security until they are 69 or older. Heck, if raising the retirement age is the solution, let’s raise it to 100 then Social Security will really be saved.
