The retirement squeeze: How would they fix it?

Of course the candidates are vague on this: there's no good way to fix the problem, at this point. We've successfully put off until tomorrow what we should have done yesterday, and it's my generation that's gonna pay for it. I'll be lucky if I can retire by age 80 ...

Whoever wins the election may have to make tough choices about Social Security's finances.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
