The specifics can change if that is too close. 3 years then up to 66, then 3 more for 67, or whatever. Or delay 5 years before even starting. That's minutiae.
I'm not that near to retirement Tater. I'm 50, and i've been working and paying into Social Security since 1970. That's 40 years of payments with at least another 15 years to go before I can collect on that very considerable investment.

If you want to end this government retirement Ponzi scheme then I completely support that, but i'll be expecting back every dime i've been forced to contribute into it, as well as 40 years worth of interest.
