"Cut Social Security in order to have enough money for war"

House Republican leader John Boehner offered that suggestion in an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

"Ensuring there's enough money to pay for the war will require reforming the country's entitlement system, Boehner said. He said he'd favor increasing the Social Security retirement age to 70 for people who have at least 20 years until retirement, tying cost-of-living increases to the consumer price index rather than wage inflation and limiting payments to those who need them."

As noted at the link, several prominent Democrats have expressed similar sentiments.
