It might not be fair, but it is simply a fact of life. There isn’t enough money in the country to pay for everyone’s SS and Medicare.

But means-testing is not the way to go. That's the liberal ploy of punishing those that managed to save some money vs those that spent it all. IF there is going to be a means test, it should be based on income earned over a lifetime. Those that were irresponsible should suffer the consequences. Punishing success and rewarding stupidity is the liberal way.
