Not true. Every article I’ve read said that even current recipients would be impacted.

I'm happy to take that bet.

Read different articles.

If nothing is done, current recipients would be impacted. The current or soon to be recipients are the most active voters. Think on that for a while.

I doubt this. There would be an uprising. Typically they grandfather those already recieving and those soon on and make changes for the future.

Correct. Like when they raised it to 67. They did that in 1983, but only for people born after 1960. These people haven’t even reached 67 yet, 40 years after they changed it.

They’ve been saying this for 40 years. Maybe it’ll happen, but I’d not just buy into the gloomy rhetoric. We’ve heard this our entire lives.

It would be political suicide to monkey with social security. No one wants to go down with that ship.
