<<<Increasing the retirement age would seem the least worst way to do that.>>> I agree with you. Increasing the retirement age does not seem very disruptive. However that may not even be needed. 75% of the shortfall in the projected SS payout in 2032 could be eliminated by lifting the cap on the payroll tax. The rest of the short fall could be eliminated forever if the tax rate were increased by .6 percent. The alternative would be to privatise the system and just eliminate SS.
