President-elect Joe Biden has some good proposals about reforming Social Security so that people like me won't have to work until we die.
I would like to see the Windfall Elimination Provision repealed. That is absolutely devastating to people like me who could use the extra $120 month.
Linked is an article about the proposed ideas. Let's see asshole McConnell try and destroy this sane and humane reform.
Snip:
Biden’s Social Security platform includes key benefit increases. Eligible workers would get a guaranteed minimum benefit equal to at least 125% of the federal poverty level. People who have received benefits for at least 20 years would get a 5% bump. Widows and widowers could receive about 20% more per month.
Biden also proposes changing the measurement for annual cost-of-living increases to the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly, or CPI-E, which could more closely track the expenses retirees face.
To pay for the changes and extend the program’s solvency, Biden would apply Social Security payroll taxes to those making $400,000 and up. In 2020, only wages up to $137,700 are subject to those levies.
