With the way SS is structured, you would have to maintain the current ratio of workers to retirees to keep it solvent. No, you don't. If you raise the cap some and raise the percentage by say 1/2 point, you get over the demographic hump, and go to a surplus as far as the eye can see. And you do that during the boomers peak earnings years... so they/we are doing the heavy lifting. Probably leaving a nice surplus for you lazy selfish Gen Xers, and a cut in the SS tax. The Bush thing would have added a $trillion in debt. Or did you forget you would have to pay that back?
