1. Elimintating it completely, raising benefits, lowering retirement age.

None of Obama's bullshit gifts to big business via employer-side only cuts, and lies about SS contributing to our deficit.

Is Wray's proposal on the table?

6. Hell no.

In fact, I'm against the reduction just done. If you eliminate that, what's left from a federal perspective? They are already cutting income taxes to an inadequate state and blaming spending for the revenue shortfalls.

12. Ditto.

I paid into Railroad Retirement, and we paid an additional 4% above SS and the employer paid an additional 16% above SS.

Way better pension.
