I'm really surprised that no one actually read this - all it does is change the age from 55 to 56 which they knew they had to do within 2 years anyway...
The problem they have is that they can't sell that to their voters for the Mid Term election because they all campaigned on keeping the age at 55...and there are too many that will be having really close elections
This has nothing to do with cutting benefits - its just who funds the budget and what age they fund it at...you don't collect till you're in your 60's anyway
Trump won't like it at all...completely goes against what he campaigned on - and doesnt balance the Medicare budget for at least 10 years
