Three easy steps: Change the cost-of-living measure, means test for richer recipients, and, most important, raise the retirement age. The current retirement age is an absurd anachronism.

Absolutely not. Means testing is just another phrase for "spread the wealth", AKA communism/socialism. We need to be moving away from that obviously destructive policy, not embracing it.

The solution is simple - end the program, reimburse everyone that has paid into it, and allow private, tax-free programs to replace it.
