Dems have counter offer f/ SS

[Panich52]

Counter offer-> We’ve mentioned that Republicans have signaled they’ll aggressively pursue “entitlement reform” in the new Congress. Dylan Scott reports for TPM that Democrats are coalescing around the argument that the way to improve Social Security and Medicare’s long-term balance sheets is to scrap the payroll tax-cap and make high earners pay the same rate as everyone else.
