re: Marco Rubio: Republicans Will Cut Social Security and Medicare After Tax Plan Passes

The most common sense thing for SS is to institute a retirement income ceiling over which you can't draw. SS is a pretty bad idea, but it's especially bad the way it works now. It was sold as a safety net to help get the very poorest people past end of work to death as the average life expectancy increased in the 20th century. There is no reason for people who retire comfortably to draw SS. Medicare, the main problem is fraud and waste. There is literally like half trillion dollars in fraudulent Medicare and Medicaid claims paid yearly
