The easiest solution would be to push the retirement age from 67 to 70. Which makes sense given that when it started, life expectancy was only about 65 which was the retirement age. Medical advances have opened up a big gap that was only partially closed by raising the retirement age to 67. Also, lots of people are in much better health for longer than they used to be and a lot fewer jobs now involve backbreaking manual labor.

Bite your tongue. Screw that. I look at SS as a tax break and nothing more. Why should 65+ be paying taxes?
