Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Subcommittee on Social Security, released a plan Thursday to reform Social Security that would drastically reduce benefits. The bill would make the program less of a universal earned benefit and more of a means-tested safety net that aims only to provide basic support to the poorest retirees and disabled workers.

Hi there
It's fine to discuss COLA etc here, and we give a lot of leeway on this important issue, but please remember to limit political posting so as to avoid any partisan disagreements. Thanks.
