I have a hard time believing social security is not reformable at all. Raising the retirement age to at least 70 should be doable. And creating a new drug entitlement should be out of the question entirely. I realize the dems want SS and at the same time they want to help labor. Well this is where the rubber meets the road then, it will be interesting to see how they react. Our workers are way overtaxed to pay for these social programs. Something has to give. We're just not going to be able to tack on 15% on top of high US salaries anymore.
