I know that you want to give a wide range of opinions, but the piece on Bush's plan puzzles me. The article has no information on Bush's plan, and his statements on the system are off by decades.
"Nevertheless, presidential candidate Jeb Bush has a way to repair Social Safety — and his plan is most undoubtedly a deviation from the standard Social Safety fixes his social gathering provides."
If he has a plan I can't find it.
I believe he's spoken in favor of raising the retirement age, but doesn't have a fully-outlined plan.
Yes, he is in favor of raising retirement age, but by itself that policy option doesn't change the exhaustion point of SS by a year. It solves a tiny amount of the shortfall because of how long it takes to implement - 'gradually'.
