How conservative seniors want to reform Social Security

With Social Security’s Disability Insurance Trust Fund projected to run out of money in late 2016, liberals are calling for a simple reallocation of funds from the Social Security retirement fund to keep the disability system fully-funded. But that reform plan will attract staunch opposition from conservative seniors who influence the Republican majorities in Congress, according to Daniel Weber, founder and CEO of the Association of Mature American Citizens.

“Our members are against this band-aid of temporarily moving money from the old age fund into the disability fund,” Weber told the Washington Examiner. “All that’s doing is kicking the can down the road.”
