Issues: Senior Citizens Entitlements and the Safety Net

A key factor in balancing the budget is to rework the Social Security safety net. Here, we must borrow a page from Governor Christie's Pension reform and shore up the solvency of this very important program. All seniors and anyone invested into the program for twenty years need not worry about their future benefits. They should all be guaranteed the plan that is currently in place for them. People invested for ten to twenty years in the Social Security Plan should expect a 20% change in funding benefits and should prepare alternate plans to make up the difference. Anyone with less than 10 years vested in Social Security should expect to see a new program that is self-sustaining and efficient. All Social Security funds should be placed in a secure fund that no politician can access for use in any other budgetary plans.
