[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been assuming that SS will be means tested or otherwise not available by the time I retire.[/quote]

There's an easy fix:  Eliminate or raise the $127,200 cap on SS contributions, and implement means testing, since folks like Warren Buffett do not need SS.  Those two things alone would make SS solvent for the next couple of generations.

The upper-middle class liberals here would scream holy terror. [/quote]

I posted earlier. We are done with the cap by mid March. It's ridiculous that we aren't asked to pay more into the system.[/quote]

Because we do not pay enough into the "system" as it is.   Lets see, Federal, State, local, Property Taxes, Luxury Taxes, Sales Taxes, registration fees, gas taxes...   What am I missing?

Liberal, sigh.[/quote]

How much of that money went to Bush's wars and wasteful defense spending?

Idiots, sigh.[/quote]

Exactly.

Do you realize how many people in this area benefit from “wasteful defense spending””?”
Hoards of government workers on this forum truly believe their agency’s mission is NOT part o f the problem.  
I just ???? [/quote]

Lame.

Why spend just for the sake of spending?  Huge wastes in DoD.  Multi-billion dollar programs for planes that won't fly, warships that can't fight, et cetera.  "People around the area benefit from it" simply isn't good enough.  There are REAL needs that could be met, like roads and bridges and those would provide tremendous benefit around the area.[/quote]
