Will Democrats Get Their Social Security Demands?

Dear National Review Reader, Please find this special message from our sponsoring advertiser. This important support affords us the continuing means to provide you with National Review's distinctly conservative and always exceptional news and commentary. Dear Reader, Recently, 70 Democrats delivered a letter to the White House, demanding that President Obama “expand Social Security benefits for millions of Americans.” President Obama echoed this belief in an address the following day when he stated, “Here’s the truth: Medicare and Social Security are not in crisis, nor have they kept us from cutting our deficit by two-thirds since I took office… We need to keep Social Security strong.” But Obama’s new tune stands in stark contrast to his statements last year… In the White House’s 2015 budget proposal, President Obama outlined a major Social Security cut, and the backlash from his party members was substantial. On page 150 of the Obama Administration’s proposal, it explained the plan to “eliminate [the] aggressive Social Security claiming strategies” that some Americans are using to maximize their Social Security benefits. Most Americans don’t realize this, but there are real and proven ways to dramatically boost your social security payments. And all of these options are still available- because Obama’s Social Security cut proposals never made it into law. For example, one couple from Boston used a simple strategy that earned them an estimated $50,000 extra from Social Security in just four years. One of the experts on these claiming strategies is Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff- a Boston University professor and Senior Economist on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers to Ronald Reagan from 1981-1982. Dr. Kotlikoff says there are several totally legal and easy ways to boost your Social Security payments. You just have to understand how these strategies work, and how to put them to use. Dr. Kotlikoff has written much more about this subject. To see our written summary of his findings, and learn more about the specifics on how to boost your own Social Security payouts, before Congress threatens to shut them down, go here. Regards, Michael Ford Researcher, Stansberry Research P.S. If you’re already collecting Social Security benefits, it may not be too late for you to “redo” your benefits and restart at a much higher rate. To visit the written summary of our findings, go here.
