Oral, do what you must for your blood pressure, but there are two distinctly different views on how big a fix Social Security needs in order to stay solvent. There are lots of people who don't plan to ever have to depend on Social Security, but there are also all sorts of unplanned life events like horrible recessions, the loss of investments, losing a good job later in life and never finding one to replace it, the death of a spouse, huge medical bills, and all sorts of other things that make it important for us to fix Social Security the right way because it does need to be there. And there is definitely enough time to do that. Hey! I like raccoons, and I don't think they're crazy, either.
