This Washington Post editorial, calling for benefit cuts to Social Security and Medicare(!!), represents the thinking of almost no one in America except for a few extremists and billionaires, like their owner Jeff @bezos. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/05/social-security-medicare-entitlements-reform/
Yes, Social Security and Medicare still need to be reformed β€” and soon

It's good news that entitlements won't be part of debt ceiling negotiations, but that doesn't mean the looming insolvency crisis shouldn't be addressed.

I can remember WaPo editorials twenty years ago warning that insolvency was only a few years off. Weird how it's still ten years or more away, almost as if the danger is *not* actually growing closer, and the argument that it demands immediate action is bunk.
