Friday, September 10, 2010  Social Security Retirement Age
Thinking like this is why I like libertarians:  The questions
that policymakers thinking about Social Security reform should
be asking aren’t “How many years should people work” or “When do
we think individuals should retire?” ... Instead, the right
question to ask is: “At what age should we start subsidizing
retirement by taxing younger members of society?”  1 comment:

and lowering and means testing benefits is absolutely non-
negotiable.  It's social insurance meant to keep the elderly out
of poverty - it was never meant to provide a majority of a
retirees income.  Both parties are responsible for that
perception.
