At some point, things get so bad that addressing the obvious issues with SS, Medicare and Medicaid will no longer be political suicide. We see State governors taking on entitlements in NJ, CA and NY and those governors are getting high marks from public polls. What's his name in Florida before the election (key there: before) in 2010 identified SS will have to go to 67 or 70 years old - he still go elected by a large margin. IN FLORIDA.... there are enough blue hairs in that state to kill any politician.
It may be time.
It is absolutely time. People my age (48) and younger already think that SS won't be there when we retire, so what's the difference? Look, the people that are on, or ready to retire presently shouldn't have their plans disrupted, but say those 50 and less, should be working to make things better, and part of that is reality.
