Clinton vs. Warren: Where they disagreeAugust, 2014
"There are five major policy areas that shed daylight between Hillary Clinton and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
Clinton is expected to run for president in 2016, but some on the left are pining for Warren to launch a bid. The Massachusetts senator has repeatedly denied she is interested in running for the White House. However, her recent campaign stumping for Democratic candidates as well as a planned trip to Israel have stoked the 2016 speculation.
Clinton and Warren do agree on some issues, but on a variety of issues, their policies clash."

Good read, thanks for the link. I think Warren makes more sense than Clinton on all 5 issues. nt

Such as how would she fund it?
I support expanding it, including raising the payroll tax with it.
As far as dealing with the potential of the trust fund running dry, I support a payroll tax increase. After that I'd consider lifting the cap, that is where I draw the line at reforming social security.
The economy has a lot to do with it where Hillary Clinton is right but it is during bad economies when it is most needed. Without, most retired citizens wouldn't have an income.
On edit - Warren is much better on the other 4.
