Poll:
What do you think about the new Social Security retirement age proposal? (You can choose more than one answer)

(KMOV) -- You could be forced to work until you're 70 just to cash in your Social Security retirement benefits.
 
It's an attempt to make up for the Social Security budget crisis.
 
The current age to retire and receive Social Security benefits is 65, but House Republican Leader John Boehner proposed pushing the retirement age back to 70.
 
If approved, the new age would only affect those not set to retire for another 20 years.
 
The proposal is being made to make up for the Social Security Administration's budget crisis.
 
We want to know what you think about this. Vote in our web poll on the right hand side of the page.
