If you don't endorse benefit cuts, you are implicitly endorsing vast tax increases. Its a no brainer. It has to be a balance between benefit cuts and tax increases. You don't need a lot of ingenuity to do this. Benefit cuts could mean higher retirement age and means testing. Tax increases for those that can afford it plus strengthening the economy where more people enter the higher brackets. I don't think you can do away with the idea of social security.
