Social Security Reform
I believe we must change the retirement age from 62 to 65 for all and start this by January of 2014 for all who aren’t yet 59, thereby reducing the number of people who qualify which will result in less out flow of both Social Security Funds and Medicare. Social Security is in trouble because we have voted for representatives that have taken money from the Social Security trust fund to pay for entitlements such as the war on poverty.
We must put all Social Security Monies in an account which can not be accessed by anyone for anything other than to pay benefits to those who are eligible for Social Security such as is being done presently, thanks to the Johnson Administration and his Great Society which is the reason it’s going broke now, no more funding the general fund with retirement monies. We need to privatize Social Security to insure future generations’ will be Free from Government interference.
No Social Security Funds for funding Abortions.
When you’re hurt on the job it should be that insurer who has to pay the benefits to you for as long as you’re disabled and also if that results in a permanent disability without any possibility of retraining, then the Company and the Workers Comp Insurance are the ones responsible for your income not the Social Security System.
We must include in this program; when you reach the age of retirement any difference between what you would have gotten and what you get will be made up by Workers Comp and the Company you worked for when injured. They are the responsible entities for this situation not the Federal Government or the Social Security System or the taxpayer. This cost will be guaranteed to the injured thru a bond or other type of security in case the Insurance or business dissolves.
We must set up system thru the private sector that protects those who are born disabled or are disabled for any reason away from work, thru private insurance. The cost will be spread out through millions as insurance is meant to work.
A similar system for workers is presently working in Chile. If we don’t do something to fix this Social Security and Medicare we’ll be broke by 2017. We must fix this now, not kick the can down the road of time.

I posted a note on the healthcare site about individual healthcare trust accounts. I believe the same principle could apply here. If each individual “owned” his Social Security account then it should be safe from the predation of Congress. Individuals should be offered the option of either participating n the present system, or opening/changing to an Individual Social Security Trust Account. One would set up the trust when they start their working life. For those already on the current SS system, they could shift the monies they have already contributed to the trust account. The trust would be owned by the individual,would be portable and the monies in the trust would be eligible to be passed on to one’s heirs upon death of the original owner.

I like your idea of having an employer and Workman’s Comp fund a disability retirement of an injured worker. I add that auto insurance should pay for the persons disabled by injury in an auto accident I also would like to see reduction in fraud.
