Require everyone to be in Social Security, Medicare

The answer is so simple I can't believe the U.S. has not made this law. All people who get paid by tax dollars have to be in Social Security and Medicare. Make sure politicians and their staffs, especially, as well as all teachers belong and the millions of tax dollars paying ridiculous pensions goes away.

The unions should also be part of the solution, Social Security and Medicare for all. No double dipping.

The system will get fixed quickly.

Who is going to hire a 65-year-old? People should not have to work until they're close to death just to balance the budget. No more freebies for retired politicians!
