Summary

Folks, we need a fix for Social Security. No two ways around that. For those of you on the left, the Republicans do not want to dismantle Social Security. So stop trying to scare people. For those of you on the right, there are going to be more taxes paid into the system.  Saying otherwise is a pipe dream.  So, let's start around those premises.   Secondly, remember the VAST majority of Americans rely on Social Security for a significant portion of their retirement income.  Those same Americans also vote in larger proportions than do other cohorts.  So, politically it only makes sense to get a fix.  In this video, I show you teh signing ceremony from the Reagan, O'Neil and Baker Bipartisan Social Security Reform Act of 1983. Perfect? Nope.  Did it work? Yup. And it can be done again too.

Episode Description

Folks, we need a fix for Social Security. No two ways around that. For those of you on the left, the Republicans do not want to dismantle Social Security. So stop trying to scare people.

For those of you on the right, there are going to be more taxes paid into the system. Saying otherwise is a pipe dream.

So, let's start around those premises.

Secondly, remember the VAST majority of Americans rely on Social Security for a significant portion of their retirement income.

Those same Americans also vote in larger proportions than do other cohorts.

So, politically it only makes sense to get a fix.

In this video, I show you teh signing ceremony from the Reagan, O'Neil and Baker Bipartisan Social Security Reform Act of 1983.

Perfect? Nope. Did it work? Yup.

And it can be done again too.
