If the only issue was an imbalance in social security, this would be a very manageable problem to solve and this thread would not exist. The reason there are proposals for means testing soc security is due to the dire nature of deficit spending. Social Security is a big part of the overall problem and it all must be addressed or it will not matter!
And those benefits are funded separately.
I understand that you would like to start another thread as this is very inconvenient to your arguments.
No, it's not inconvenient for me -- it's convenient for you to combine two separate issues into one so that you can make your tangential argument.
You want to talk about Social Security, let's talk. You want to talk about Medicare, take it somewhere else or find a mirror.
