[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1505432, member: 26302"]It has already been a trial balloon politically. "Someone" has already stated its unfair that those with healthy retirement plans continue to collect large SS benefits while others without retirement plans don't get as much in SS.

I don't think taking away a retirees SS that has no assets and only $800 a month to live on is politically viable, so what other alternatives would there be? To me, its either tax income to infinity or take away SS if you were stupid enough to save for retirement. :( Having said that, I am still saving for retirement just in case they choose the first option. :) Sorry mods, not trying to be political, just practical when it comes to retirement planning.
