But we do have a fundamental problem that people are allowed to retire too early. The minimum retirement age needs to be mid-70s. The program was never designed to give the average person 15 years of retirement security. Medicare, either. MId-70th? Why not mid-150th? Great idea - check how much money can we save on those who work to death or starve to death. I always thought that Trumpsters are crazy and stupid, but did not know that they are so inhumane. By the way the SS may be saved in one second without killing millions of people like you suggest - just eliminate SS salary gap and Social Security will be solvent at least for the next 30-40 years. Horrible idea, you would say - to have rich people to pay more SS taxes??? It's better starve old people to death, of course.
