On Social Security:
Raise state employee retirement age & make pensions portable
David Hadley is working to reform the unfair public employee retirement system because he's keenly aware of its skyrocketing $17.5 billion annual cost as well as the more than $200 billion in unfunded liabilities.

through the collective bargaining process--of increasing the retirement age to 65 years for newly hired employees.
