147. I do not like your idea at all.
What would prevent seniors from choosing to retire to states in which the money is really spent on seniors and allow other states to spend it on building golf courses for politicians?

Don't change Social Security. There really is no alternative to it.

We have had some really terrible Republican governors in California. They got us into disastrous financial trouble. Never again. Governors are less accountable, believe it or not, than are federal governments. That is because busy people pay little attention to what is going on in state government. The federal government gets lots of coverage on TV and in other news media. So people watch the federal government more than they watch state government.
