  4. Scoping out a new Social Security tax

    You might not realize this if you've been listening to all the warnings about "entitlements" emanating from Congress, but Social Security remains the nation's most popular government program -- and the vast majority of Americans want lawmakers to protect it, without cutting benefits.

  11. Poll: Raising the eligibility age for Medicare

    Medicare may not be the third rail of American politics -- that distinction belongs to Social Security -- but politicians who alter it put their careers at risk. For proof, just look at how Republicans <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/25/us-usa-campaign-newyork-idUSTRE74O0HO20110525">lost a congressional seat</a> in a conservative upstate New York district in early 2011 after the Democratic underdog made an issue of the Medicare overhaul proposed by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). One might also blame the Medicare provisions in the 2010 healthcare law -- particularly the reductions to Medicare Advantage subsidies -- for helping the GOP take over the House in that year's elections, although that was just one of many problems for Democrats back then.
