Medicare and Social Security are going to crash. You can't keep pouring money down a rat hole with dwindling resources. I'm objecting to the class warfare approach to singling out responsible parties who paid maximum rates for 30+ years and funded a retirement with what was left after massive taxation. If cuts are coming, apply them across the board. Don't single out favorite targets of the class warfare promoting left.

As a start, lets stop social security disability insurance across the board. That drain on the system was invented and feeds tons of money to people who never contributed a dime. Second, limit the benefits paid to the present value of the contributions made over a lifetime. You don't work for a year, then lay on your ass for 20 years with benefits that exceed your contributions by orders of magnitude.
