Yeah but Republicans will never vote for an elimination of the cap.raising the cap kicks the can down the road. Elimination the cap fixes it forever
Raising the age is NOT a cut. For a cut to happen you need to be receiving benefits.Roy is saying CUTS...

Nope. Raising the age is CUTTING benefits for future beneficiaries.Raising the age is NOT a cut. For a cut to happen you need to be receiving benefits.
For a fix to happen, a fix has to happen, otherwise SS goes insolvent in 2034.
That means benefits need to be reduced and/or taxes need to be increased.
Look at the lifespans when SS was initiated in 1947 versus today. People are living and working longer.
You either want to fix SS & Medicare or you want them to go bankrupt. Choose.
My post 173 has a very reasonable set of fixes.
A "cut" is getting less than you are currently getting, duh,Nope. Raising the age is CUTTING benefits for future beneficiaries.
My KIDS for example
I’d rather they lift the cap and insure my kids get SSA "cut" is getting less than you are currently getting, duh,
A change in eligibility is NOT a cut.
Would you rather SS go insolvent and your kids get 70% of promised benefits, or they work a year or two longer for full benefits? Choose.
I also want the people currently NOT on SS. like many government employees to pay into SS.
I agree with that, but in politics sometime we need to compromise.I’d rather they lift the cap and insure my kids get SS
So....that is a cut in the benefits of future SS recipients. McCarthy...and you...have a way of spinning a lie.It's called "compromise"
Republicans want to raise the full retirement age from 66 to 70. So what? Compromise on 68 with..
What's the proposed early retirement age? Currently its 62. Compromise on 64 with...
How about raising or removing the cap? Double the cap...problem solved.
SS is an easy fix if the DC morons worked on it. Joe would sign it.

I agree, but will Republicans go along with that? Probably not. Think compromise.Eliminate the earnings cap. Problem solved.
I have an aversion to compromising on my kid's retirementI agree with that, but in politics sometime we need to compromise.
I hope we soon see a real negotiation and get it solved and signed.
ok, no deal means insolvency.I have an aversion to compromising on my kid's retirement
Just raise the capok, no deal means insolvency.
/——-/ Do you libtards ever read past the headlines?Republicans signal cuts to Social Security, Medicare with new House majority
The House GOP is itching for a fight over spending cuts — including to major entitlement programs.news.yahoo.com
Well, here we go again. I guess there needs to be room for more tax cuts for the super wealthy.
/———/ geee—-try reading the article before you lash out.Just raise the cap
/——/ I remember democRATs fighting any reforms for SS tooth and nail back in the 70s. democRAT Speaker Tip BELCH O’Neil screaming into the TV KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY.Raising the cap would place a burden on the repub constituents making $160,000+. That is a non-starter for the repubs. God forbid they pay a penny more in SS tax.
