We should be unafraid to reduce future benefits
The big question I have is, how does one, short of major revision, cut back on the built-in increases in payments to individuals. Will any congress go back and cut down on future payments of Social Security, Medicare, etc.?
In my view programs should be reviewed and we should not be afraid to reduce the benefits in the future.
