It's a stupid fix and not needed. Do what FDR advised in his OWN SS SPEECH in 1935, namely privatize it.

S&P has outperformed the SS fund tenfold.

A great idea if we'd decided to do it forty years ago.

But now we have a 30+ trillion dollar hole because, simply, demographics.

So somebody's got to take a big hit. Either retirees, or their kids and grandkids, or both.
