Raise the ages to 70 basically. Demand it in return for raising the debt ceiling.

1. Tom, Krugman's piece says they're planning to raise the age for both to 70.

Which is horrifying.

I hope you 'll edit your OP and the thread title: "Paul Krugman says GOP plans to raise age for SS and Medicare to 70"

Or something like that, since it should be in the title.
