A bipartisan effort on Social Security?

Interesting.

Not a fan of the approach. The SSA would end up owning a substantial chunk of Corporate America. A lever of power I would never trust USG with.

Should probably claim it asap.

Fully federalize the Student Loan industry. Cap the interest at 6%, no deferred payment. Interest must be paid during school, and interest plus principal after.

The interest supplements Social Security.

I hate the idea, but it would help two different problems…

I wonder if I could get the SSA to give me a lump sum settlement.

It's kinda funny as I'm deferring SSA for 18 months to claim the maximum I can receive - so it makes sense that the program should go bankrupt fairly soon after that.
