I heard this morning the cuts are going to be 46%

[snooper2]

For people born after 1980, the age will now be set to 74, and they should get 46% less

For people born after 1970, the age will be set to 72, and they will get 32% less

For existing folks, the cuts are going to be 15% across the board

[Ozymanithrax]

11. Post a link or name a source.

Otherwise this is pointless speculation.

The Deficite comission suggested 22%.

The White Hosue is open to “reasonable changes” to Social Security and Medicare that strengthen those entitlement programs.
