Comment on Column: Social Security is again in the crosshairs of a GOP budget, even though a long-term fix would be simple
Social security would best be solved by private retirement accounts. That would solve the problem quickly.
What do you mean by “solved”? Because, obviously, a lack of social security couldn’t possibly function as the program does as it exists.
Problem is solved. Just move everything to private funds. Instead of the grand Ponzi scheme we have now
Oh. Well, then raising taxes it solves it just as simply and in the exact same way. No more grand Ponzi scheme and puts money into private hands.
It doesn’t solve anything. It just increases taxes.
Either that or raise the percentage and let everyone pay more. If you think it has value. You should be willIng to pay more for it. Right now it’s 12.5. Raise it to 20%
