Mary Beth Franklin: Nudging Congress Toward Social Security Reform

Ted

FYI: When leaders refuse to lead, then it's time for the people to step in. That, essentially, is the mission of Funding Our Future, an alliance of organizations dedicated to making a secure retirement possible for all Americans. Mary Beth served as a moderator during the coalition's first public educational session on Capitol Hill recently.
Regards,
Ted

"But it doesn't have to be that way. The key is to start the conversation now. Possible solutions include raising the payroll taxes that fund Social Security benefits, raising the full retirement age above 67, which already applies to people born in 1960 or later, or adjusting the inflation formula used to help retirees and other Social Security beneficiaries maintain their buying power."
Duh. Remove the salary cap.

Maybe they should change the name to the "Bipartisans For-Hire Policy Center".
