"of course, a politician could lie and then do the fiscally sound thing and cut off all social benefits to people wealthy enough to afford funding their own life, but that won't happen."

It MUST happen, and it will. The only question is, how. Those people paid into the system their whole lives, with the promise of social services in retirement. Break that promise and you will have a lot of really ticked off citizens on your hands.

Then again, being old sheeple, they will probably just complain about it.
