Welcome to most of the ideas that others have been proposing for more than 20 years. Better late to the party than never attending.

The one idea that only liberals and Democrats have proposed ,and that you advocate, is the outright stealing of the money that has already been taken by raising the age of collection. It is the precise way those like you will use to repudiate the commitment the government made. Immorality and evil go together.

how do you know I haven't been "involved" in pushing for ideas like these for the past 20 years?

obviously some of these things should have been done 10-20 years ago ... but it didn't happen ... now, at least it is being talked about again.

if we don't raise the age ... with the average boomer living until their mid 80s ... we just pass more of the problem unto future generations ... the ponzi scheme just continues with the govt. raising the FICA tax and/or securing more revenue (i.e. other direct and indirect taxing) to pay for it.

I don't want to rob my kids and grandkids generation ... just because other generations have robbed my generation legally through FDR's screw deal.
