    Perhaps the most blatant push ever for making the poor and middle-class pay for the tickets for the uber-wealthy's ride to obscene opulence.

    its probably a more fiscally sound, bi-partisan solution. which means those fuck heads in congress and the senate will bitch about it and then add crap to it to make it unpassable.

    I think that some of the solutions are too far down the road to be realistic. Raising ages in 2040? Let's talk about what the situation is NOW, and not use the same baseline assuming it still applies to years down the road.

    Seems like the strategy here was to list every possible idea, so that in the off chance that something, anything, is ever passed, the committee can claim credit for it.

    I can think of quite a few possible ideas they did not list.

    Mail them to the committee, there is still time to work them in before the final report.
