The Case for Reform
Entitlement reform was a big ticket item in the last election with the talk surrounding Obamacare. Republicans were, and to a degree still are, aggressively touting alternatives to this system. Since then talk has dwindled and reform has fallen by the wayside as a hot political topic.

Social Security has become infamous for its solvency issue in the wake of the stagnant COLA increases of the past few years.
