"In the case of SS, if you want to be able to pay the required benefits for the next 75 years and end up with zero assets in the trust, you would need to deposit $9,000,000,000,000 today, "

Crap. Utter crap. You could deposit half that today and half tomorrow, 1/4 of that for the next 4 days, or
1/(75)(365) of that every day for the next 75 years.

Just remove the cap on earnings to fix SS.
