This is all Boehner can come up with given all Washington's dramatic increases in spending first under him, then Pelosi? Screwing us again(where's the trust fund? Gone!) to pay for Obama's spending? Don't worry, Congress and federal employees pensions are secured. Why don't they have to work and pay taxes till 70?

It's time for the "Tea Party" to become an official political party and dump the GOP...

They won't cut current seniors benefits because they vote on the issue, but instead will cut our future benefits while preserving our FICA taxes(that is all they are saving) .

You think voters would have went for the 1980s SS reform if they know FICA was a slush fund (which it had to be with a surplus)??? Are we that stupid again?? Probably YES because of massive immigration the past 10-15 years means there is no national memory of the 1970s and 1980s.

It could be worse I suppose, Democrats will demand that the FICA tax be increased on those that are completely mean tested out of the benefits, those making over 100K per year.

Tea party needs to focus on winning GOP primaries and taking over that party. Tea party and GOP on the General election ballot = democrat super-majorities.
