"Take only social security. Lift the cap and it is good for 75 years."

Actually, SS isn't in that much trouble but I could go along with raising the retirement age and lifting the cap. But I do wonder why your president wanted to and succeeded in the lowering FICA amount instead of raising it as you are suggesting.

"Too many poor lived in abject poverty before social security. We can not go back to that."

Nobody is suggesting that we do so you can quit whining about that.
