Benefits would be cut by up to 50%.

That's a good way to turn the middle class against Republicans.
Or a positive way to try and reduce the size of government, be fiscally responsible, and face tough truths.
Not sure how cutting payouts reduces the size of government, but justifying tax cuts and telling your grandmother to sack up and face the tough truths should go over well.

When old people die I don't feel bad, or sorry, or really any negative emotion at all.
Meh old people die. We waste way to much money on replacing hips of 90 yr olds, and trying to keep an 85 yr old alive for another 8 months.
"Death panel" advocate? I don't entirely disagree btw.

I don't see why we don't just bump the age. That fixes social security without really having to do much of anything. It is one of the easiest fixes we have.

The money would run out and you would end up with a bunch of destitute old people.What is the major objection to privatization? All of us have money invested privately, what is the downside of allowing people to invest in safe avenues outside of the govt? I would advocate basic investment advice from professionals to help make those decisions. It's an issue I need to learn more about but seems a good idea at first pass

Yep. The left would scream bloody murder but it wouldn't really have a negative impact. Phase it in slowly and it shouldn't matter at all.
