6. if it's secret, I'll be pissed

If it's an open/honest discussion it will depend on the details. I hope to live many years after 2037 and I don't have any confidence that SS will be around in it's current form. The sooner we start making some changes, the more likely I will get something back from what I paid in after the current predictions for insolvency. Cuts may not be needed, but also may be the only way to get a compromise that makes the needed fixes for long-term survival.
