We have a solemn obligation to our senior citizens to pay them their promised benefits. It is a contract between generations. People pay into the system all their lives on the assumption they will receive those benefits. You can't just pull the carpet from beneath their feet and tell them - We are not going to pay. If you have to raise taxes to pay those benefits, so be it!

What is not a myth is the budget deficit, which is a problem verging on a crisis, right now---a problem that Social Security, unlike the Bush tax cuts, has so far alleviated, not worsened. In other words, we need Social Security to help with the budget deficit.
