He is asking that people making over a certain amount NOT receive Social Security benefits at all even if they've paid into their entire working life, so that people in need will be able to have it. He is also asking that retirement age be increased. They were talking about it on O'Reilly yesterday.
The baby boomers are going to be the group that break the Social Security program anyway. Like 2kitties, I just figured it would be wishful thinking that I would ever get Social Security. That's why I am so mad about my 403B because I don't have enough in it for my retirement. My Indiana state teacher's retirement fund isn't doing all that great either. Now, I'm in charge (a scary thought in itself) of my health insurance money that I will have after I retire (which at least I have, but, it's only good for so long) and some other sort of money that I have that I have no clue what exactly it is.
I think I'm going to wait and see how this thing plays out over the next week and see what ALL Greenspan is asking for. I always have to hear about 4 different versions before I ever even get a CLUE what the whole thing is about.
