not disagreeing whether it is a scam ... how do you REALISTICALLY deal with it? Raise the age for people paying into the current system ... and eventually phase it out to a private plan (a forced 401K of sorts) ... this would take about 60,70 years ...

...

alternative to this is the liberals and RINOs (when the shiite hit the fan) will raise the FICA tax, means test the programs, remove the income level cap on contribution but keep the caps on payouts, and/or move the plan on-budget (lock it into more source of tax money)

There are many REALISTIC plans being proposed, from many different quarters.
