Jeb Bush proposes cutting benefits for wealthier seniors

Jeb Bush, who made news this weekend by lamenting the unserious nature of the Donald Trump-dominated Republican primary, on Tuesday will return to a subject that’s more comfortable for him: policy.

The former Florida governor is unveiling a plan to shore up Social Security and Medicare through a variety of changes that would reduce government benefits for seniors at higher income levels and provide retirees with more choices to save and to finance their health spending. The proposal, he promises, would not do anything to change the benefits of current retirees.
