Lloyd Smucker: “It is 40-percent higher than you were projecting last year at this time.”

There’s already a retirement age that has been increasing gradually for a certain cohort, and that’s one of the changes you could make, and that would seem to make sense because people are living longer.

I want them to be calling into their members of Congress and asking them to fix the debt and to fix Social Security to make sure it’s sustainable and to be sure that we can keep the promises that we’ve been making.

My view is that this will need to be done on a bipartisan basis.

The question is, if someone has very high income during retirement age, should they really be able to access Social Security in the same way that someone in poverty does?
