The best tweak is to raise the cap on the social security tax...problem solved
I can't imagine forcing people to wage slave for the billionaire class well into their 70's as very popular. Of course, the rich and the elite control the messaging and that messaging will get the loserterians supporting such a retarded idea.
I retired at 58. I can start drawing S.S. in November. The last thing I would do is tell this yahoo I wanted to work longer.
This is such a lame excuse anyway. Nothing stops anyone from continuing to work now.

Sure there is. SS allows you to only earn so much before they start deducting additional earnings from your SS checks. Once you pass that limit, you are in essence working for free.
not really…the more you pay the more you get so that just means folks paying more will get more.The best tweak is to raise the cap on the social security tax...problem solved
Yea, like people who don't have children funding the public school system -- which ironically, rightwingers also hate.....That way the rich will once again be funding a program they will likely not use when they retire.
The real solution to the problem is if we want these programs, they simply have to be funded. That means dramatically raising the SS payroll deduction to support it. What's that you say? If we did that, the public would demand an end to the program? That's true which is why the Democrats never raised SS deductions the last few decades and just allowing it to go broke and kick the can down the road for somebody else to figure out a solution.

Lots of middle class people don't like funding the wealthy elites tax breaks either....but since you dumb asses love trickle down so much, enjoy the trickle down effect of America's seniors being able to live with a bit more dignity than before...which was why Social Security was started in the first place..and which is why it is still one of the most popular program in US history....so much so that Republicans have to continuously lie about it....
We're not the ones lying, we're the ones that are trying to keep it going just like Reagan did. We're the ones pointing out how this needs to be addressed, and it's the Democrats who are telling us there's nothing to worry about, SS is just fine,
The leftist lies like the middle-class are funding the wealthy tax breaks doesn't fly here. Nobody in the middle-class seen their taxes go up. In fact our taxes went down as well.
Social Security was started because of all the irresponsible people that didn't save for their retirement and then were Fd because they didn't expect to be alive by retirement age. It's why we still have the program today; irresponsible people particularly on the left.
You don't have to take S.S. before your full retirement age. If you want to work you wouldn't. If you are 68, you can earn all you want AND take your full S.S.
Not everyone can go on disability.
Why not raise (or even better, eliminate) the earnings cap?
Yeah but how many people do that?
There is only so much most people can work once they hit that age, especially since by then we get hit with medical problems if not several of them by that time.
What does disability have to do with it?
Sure there is. SS allows you to only earn so much before they start deducting additional earnings from your SS checks. Once you pass that limit, you are in essence working for free.
Save your money while you are working. If you can't work any longer, live off that.
The point is a lot of people won't do that which is why government has to force people into these programs. I wish it were an option. Imagine all that money going into a conservative retirement account with all that compounding interest. Remember your employer has to match all your contributions to the program.
As far as disability is concerned, it's only run by Social Security. It's a separate account funded by your FICA taxes, not Social Security taxes.
With crash after crash in the markets.
It's all the same idea. You are fine benefitting but complain about others doing the same.
