As I scanned the thing, I saw the verbiage and Pissant is correct. There was talk of replacing it with something better.
If we’re talking about private sector better, I’m going to feel a lot better about it. If we’re talking about a government run plan, these jackasses will have signed on to an unconstitutional mess that is as big a pig in a poke as the Democrats brainstorm was.

I'm a young American, and I view my FICA taxes as a total loss to myself. I don't want Social Security or Medicare; I would be willing to entertain tax-advantaged accounts of various types. I would also be willing to entertain deep spending reductions across all Federal agencies and departments, as well as a simplification of the Federal tax codes that consolidates the various payroll and income taxes into a single, flat-rate income tax. I would also be willing to entertain buy-outs of Social Security participants as a means of limiting Federal liability.
