Sen. Cassidy plans to push 'big idea' for Social Security reform in last days in office [View all]

cnbc
Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana plans to make Social Security reform a priority in his last months in office, he tells CNBC.com.
Cassidy, who lost a May primary for reelection, said he will continue to push for his “big idea” fix to help fund Social Security’s shortfall by creating a separate fund that would invest in stocks on the program’s behalf.
Social Security’s trustees now project the trust fund that helps pay retirement benefits may run out in late 2032, when 78% of those benefits would be payable.
“The longer you wait, the harder it is to fix, the more painful to fix,” Cassidy said. “We need to do something now.”

How about making the billionaires and trillionaire pay their fair share instead Mr Cassidy ?
