House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer explicitly put the idea on the table as well in a speech last month. "We should consider a higher retirement age or one pegged to lifespan," Hoyer said.

He echoed House Majority Whip James Clyburn, who put it this way: "With minor changes to the program such as raising the salary cap and raising the retirement age by one month every year, the program could become solvent for the next 75 years." One month a year may not sound like much, but if you're 30 years away from retirement, that adds up to almost three years.

In the House, though, Nancy Pelosi is the linchpin, and she's not nearly as enthusiastic as her colleagues. But, notwithstanding the enthusiasm gap, she also left the possibility of raising the retirement age on the table. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2...l-security.php

So we have the White House through a Dem dominated committee endorsing cuts in Social Security in addition to the top House Dems either endorsing or not rejecting cuts in Social Security. But yet the moonbat left wants to say only Conservatives propose Social Security Cuts. Please.
