The two key planks to Rubio’s Social Security proposal are a gradual increase in the retirement age, tied to increases in American life expectancy, and a change to the growth of benefits.

I intensely dislike Rubio, but we do have to gradually raise the retirement age from 67 to 70 or 71

He wants middle- and high-income Americans to see their benefits grow more slowly and the poor to see their benefits grow more quickly.

No, we cannot means test Social Security without turning it into welfare. I don't mind Rubio coming out with a mixed bag that includes some good ideas, but I do not want him in our White House.

Sure roofers should work until they are 71. Yeah an A/C tech in their 60’s should crawl around attic in the summer. Keep ‘em working till they drop.
