As one of its first orders of
business upon convening Tuesday, the Republican House of Representatives
approved a rule that will seriously undermine efforts to keep all of
Social Security solvent.

I can see this rule if it is keeping the money in the retirement section only. During Obamas reign they shuffled ALOT of people onto disability to hide unemployment. The disability portion needs a major overhaul to keep people off it.
