I disagree. I do not see any harm in eliminating benefits to those who dont need them. Immediately cease payouts to those who have the saving to retire, pay only what is neccesary for those who have previously paid into the system, and stop collecting payroll taxes, and pay any remaining benefits out of general revenue, until the program is done. For those of us who have paid in, itll be a lesson in why the govt can not do anything right.
