I am for this if they really, really, tie up the money. The ones that need it the most will spend the principle otherwise.

I am as well.. There is no such thing as a Social Security "Trust Fund" or "Lock Box".

Any suplus SS FICA revenues collected by the Government go right back to the general budget (with an IOU thrown into SSTF).

I also believe in means testing SS. People with the means to pay for their own retirement (millionaires for sure) should not receive SS.
