2. I suspect, if someone is already on Social Security they will be grandfathered in. Those who are not on Social Security

will need to figure out a way to protect themselves if they haven't been saving regularly, because there is a real possibility that they will sure try destroy it by making it voluntary.

The big problem will be Medicare. Again I think those that are on it will be grandfathered in, but those who aren't will need to look for alternative options.

I can see them raising the age of both Medicare and Social Security to help finance trump's tax breaks.

It is scary times.
