We've already raised the age which retirees can expect benefits.  That's not a realistic solution politically anymore. A more reasonable proposal would be to gradually reduce benefits for the well off (i.e. 'the rich') and encourage private savings (e.g. expanding tax-free retirement accounts). Social Security really was never intended to be a guaranteed pension scheme for everyone.
