Look, I know I've posted this before, but we have some new blood in here now and I'd like some new perspectives on why this very basic solution isn't being discussed more.
Forget private accounts [too expensive to fund upfront]
Forget raising the age, or lowering benefits, or means testing for that matter because AARP will never allow it.
The simple solution is so fucking obvious.
RAISE THE DAMN CAP ABOVE $90k
Why not simply raise to collect SS taxes on income up to $150K ???
Are those of us making more than 90K really really going to miss that amount between 90-150 that goes to SS ???
It would fund SS into the next century.
Then we could move onto the BIGGER crisis, Medicare.
WTF is wrong with this simple, cheap plan???
:confused:
