180. those already on social security will probably get to keep what they have. that's how they keep

that demographic from raising a stink --

those right near collecting, same deal.

though both groups will in fact likely see lower future benefits, but that won't be spelled out right now.

it's those 55 & down that would probably take the biggest hit. most young people already think SS won't be for them, so they won't turn out to protest. if DU is any indication -- they'll be stupidly supportive.

it will be the middle-aged all by themselves.

that's what i believe the game plan is.

i could be wrong, but now's the time to be alerting people & trying to draw in the young & old as well.
