It’s polls like this that make me skeptical we will solve the entitlement crisis looming in 2033. A majority of *republicans* not only oppose any reforms, but actually want expansions in the programs, without tax increases.

As it stands now, if we are to fix SS by 2033, it will require the largest tax increase in the history of the country, assuming congress kills any attempt at raising retirement age.

Why not cut federal government spending immediately by 5-10% and over a 5-10 year period eliminate several bloated federal bureaucracies and return power to the state level?

Problem solved.....just too easy, isn't it?
