Nikki Haley calls for changing retirement age

[signalmankenneth]

Hell lets raise the retirement age to 72, 75 or 80 for younger workers, problem solved?!! What do you younger people think of that, people are living longer too?!!

This is Nikki Haley idea to save social security?!! I personally don't this will fly, if you raise the retirement age to 70 you are need to raise taxes on the rich too?!!

Council Bluffs, IowaCNN —

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Wednesday called for changing the retirement age and limiting Social Security and Medicare benefits for wealthier Americans, staking out a position on the politically controversial issue of entitlement reform that’s already been the subject of attacks from former President Donald Trump.

“The first thing you do is you change the retirement age of the young people coming up so that we can try and have some sort of system for them,” Haley said at a town hall in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Haley’s campaign, however, did not immediately respond when CNN asked what the former South Carolina governor would set as the retirement age.

While calling for changes to salvage the programs that she argued were headed for bankruptcy, Haley said older Americans should not see any cuts to their benefits.

“You reform the entitlements, but you do it in a way that you don’t take anything away from seniors or people who are getting ready to retire. You focus on the new generation, you focus on what’s next,” said Haley, who served as US ambassador to the United Nations under Trump.

When S.S. was created and 65 was the age that was to determined to get full benefits, the average life expectancy was well below what it is today. Therefore people today receive benefits for far longer than was originally anticipated. So it makes sense to me that the age to receive it would be increased as the system faces additional financial pressure from 1) increased number of people who receive benefits and 2) longer life spans

The French are raising theirs and there are nationwide strikes and riots in the streets.

People are living longer BECAUSE there is a reasonable retirement age. That's the point of having one.
Take away that benefit to seniors and they will start to die off earlier just like in the past. Let's see some asshole get elected on THAT platform.

Haley is stupid. That was evident from her UN jaunts.

Haley is correct.

The irony of all the French jokes us divided and conquered Americans like to tell. Greece protesters are getting a beatdown too but they're not backing down.

Peruvian protesters may be getting the worst beatings yet they've been at it for a year.

Georgians have won their fight against fascist policies and Israelis are deeply engaged in theirs.

I can't figure out what's going on in Georgia. I saw them carrying Ukraine flags.

Israel better clean up its own backyard before it attacks Iran.

Strikes erupt across French economy after March 7 protest against pension cuts

After millions of French workers and youth took to the streets Tuesday for the sixth time against President Emmanuel Macron’s widely despised pension cuts, strikes are breaking out across the French economy. With refineries, energy facilities and mass transit on strike, the prospect of a total cutoff of fuel supplies that would shut down the economy is looming.

Americans deserve to look forward to some kind of retirement


It is perfectly doable


Only evil fucks would insist on low corporate taxes and force people to die without ever being able to retire
