Senate Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio) suggested raising the retirement age for Social Security:

Ensuring there's enough money to pay for the war will require reforming the country's entitlement system, Boehner said. He said he'd favor increasing the Social Security retirement age to 70 for people who have at least 20 years until retirement, tying cost-of-living increases to the consumer price index rather than wage inflation and limiting payments to those who need them.

"We need to look at the American people and explain to them that we're broke," Boehner said. "If you have substantial non-Social Security income while you're retired, why are we paying you at a time when we're broke? We just need to be honest with people."

Translation:

"The government and large corporations robbed you for your entire lives! You were fools to have believed us! Hahaha!"

Republicans? Democrats? No difference. It's all a ruse.
