Of course the same people who make the argument about SS taxes being too high go berserk when some limits are placed on the runaway pension benefits (Medicare being the worst offender), or when someone mentions increasing retirement age.

It is what has totally turned me off to ANY of these New Deal/Great Society social programs. Once one of these program starts up (SS, for example), it is politically untouchable.

I find the current SS system to be perhaps the greatest threat to the United States. Bigger than Al Queda and Iraq combined. Because we have the will to deal with these other things; but nobody wants to deal with the problem of the DEFICIT in SS. By any reasonable measure our Social Security system is technically insolvent, yet politically, they're still saying it has a "SURPLUS". What a lie.
