If Social Security needs to be reformed, let's make it across the board. The baby boomers are the largest group of recipients ever. A small cut that includes boomers would prevent a much larger cut to those in their 40s and 50s, who already have to work more years before eligibility. In the interest of fairness, lets not keep kicking the can down the road and putting all the burden on future recipients.
Why is this important?
Social Security is an important safety net that we pay for in advance. Many depend on it as their sole income in retirement.
