About the whining in the OP ------
Appreciate your concern in the OP -- but the reality is that Obama/Reid/Pelosi are STEALING from the Soc Sec premiums RIGHT NOW !!! Since there is no Surplus to boost -- the DEMS have figured out how valuable it is to excuse all workers from paying into the fund. Right at a time when the program has gone NEGATIVE -- years ahead of schedule.. Great Job Dems !!!
THIS is the reason why future generations need CHOICES in how the govt forces them to save for retirement. And THAT's the issue. Not killing it. The time to do this was back when the Reps proposed using the SURPLUS for funding a minor effort to defer FUTURE COSTS in exchange for private accounts. Now there IS no more surplus to use (it's been boosted).
One option is to stop pretending it's a UNIVERSAL program and everyone wants it and needs it. Turn it into just another welfare entitlement. Let me out and I'd gladly contribute. But INCREASING THE caps and means testing will pretty much end ANY TRUST the American people for UNIVERSAL anything. Good luck selling MORE Universal programs after you allow this to revert to welfare..
