How will you pay those that paid in back? You are going to get people to pay in, and not get back. This is the problem. The system can pay about a dime on every dollar of promise. Your idea is to burden your children and grandchildren with a stupid solution. I know that sounds blunt, but if you are going to end it, just end it.
For starters we can do away with welfare in this country. Instead of giving food stamps to illegals and welfare queens we use that money to pay back the people that paid into SS.
Ron Paul came up with a great doable plan in 2012 to reduce the Federal budget a trillion year and that was with continued funding of Social Security.
If we stop funding domestic entitlements and welfare and interventionism overseas we can get back on the track of fiscal responsibility.
Ron Paul's plan was to make SS a ward of the state. In other words, he wanted to make it bigger and give it a larger revenue reach.
Problem is --- all the soundbite fixes we hear now -- turns it into a welfare program. And a sadistic one as well. Can you imagine a 67 yr old roofer with a bad back being forced to WAIT to collect retirement? It's all political horseshit.
Before any politician "fixes it" --- the public has to understand the gross mismanagement that has occurred.
