“COULD EVERYONE HERE WHO IS AGAINST CUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY SPENDING PLEASE CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING SITE”

You are now distorting the debate. The predominant arguments are against means testing the so called “rich”. Most here agree in cutting costs in some way, but without favoritism to a specific class.

I support means testing on a temporary basis.

The Constitution doesn't provide for a national Social Security system. It is illegal and must be terminated.

I believe that it should be phased out over a short period of time, perhaps three years. I recognize that some seniors have become very dependent on the program and those with real need should be given a brief period to adjust and to make other arrangements. In order to prevent fraud and abuse while winding down the program, seniors who claim severe need should bear the burden of proving their inability to immediately find alternative sources of sustenance.

So, for that brief period that it will take to phase out the program, there must be some means testing.
