“not means tested....but the age should begin to escalate - with reasonable exemptions for those 55 or over, etc....”
right now for anyone born after 1943 age for full benefits is 66
and increases in monthly increments until it is 67 if born ater 1960

so Jeb needs to learn the rules before he says stupid stuff

It will inevitably be means tested as it inches closer to bankruptcy. Thanks to BO, that inching has turned to galloping.

we're asking too much of the young people as it is, now we're gonna tell them to pay more and pay longer and retire when they're practically dead?.....I'm not for it...

I'm not for "means testing" per se, but I do think there is a group receiving multiple govt pensions and they should be indexed....

some people worked for the govt and got that big pension and had a little sliver of private work and then they end up with SS too....

disability has got to stop being the panacea it is for so many...it should be reserved for those confined to wheelchairs, or horribly disfigured. or some terrible disorder....it shouldn't be for stress, knee or back pain, or fibromyalgia, etc...that is my opinion.....
