And please answer the question... just exactly *who* are you accusing of
"living large" on Social Security?

Baloney. Can you make an intelligent statement without setting up a straw
man to attack? Provide one quote where I said any such thing. And I don't
have a side, since nobody has ever proposed doing what I think would be
sensible.

What *has* been said about Social Security: It will be in the black for
the next 20+ years. It's long term solvency looks better now than 5 years
ago. Some potential solutions for the distant future cash-flow imbalance
would be to cut benefits and/or raise the salary cap 9this would also
reduce the regressiveness of the tax).

How about the government get out of the business of providing insurance and
retirement programs. Then the government will have to stop spending the SS
tax money like drunken sailors every year!
