WAY PAST time to talk about means testing.
Re "means testing," see my #16.
Let me get this straight. By the time I am eligible for retirement, I will have worked and paid into the Social Security "Retirement" system for 48 years. If because of hard work and continually educating myself, I have a few bucks tucked away to supplement my retirement, you want to take away my S.S. because I am "Rich"? Yeah, that seems fair.
If you really want to solve the Social Security problem, get the politicians hands out of it. Put the money in a real Trust Fund to be used ONLY for Social Security and STOP paying benefits to people who never contributed (look up SSI or Supplemental Security Income sometime).
