Chaffetz Social Security Reform Proposal

Hasn't one of the arguments been about general health and longevity as well? Back when it first started most people died shortly after retiring, sixty-somethings seventy or eighty years ago were much less healthy than sixty-somethings of today, which themselves are likely to be significantly less healthy than the sixty-somethings that my generation will be another thirty years from now. I think that's why raising ages would be relevant over time - as public health and intervention improve in quality and particularly as people's receiving ages keep creeping upward.

It needs some tweaking and debate but I think that Jason will be called a rino by years-end
damn moderate, Mormon, secret commie, bastards.

Hey, that resembles Mitt Romney - part of why I like him probably more so that most as the GOP candidate.

People are living 10 - 12 years longer than they did back in the late 30's and 40's when social security went into operation. So raising the age closer to Death makes perfectly good sense.

The ideal social security system is to bring a new user on line the day before he dies.
