The other item to watch for is to "privatize" SS. This will allow Wall Street and their buddies to gouge Seniors with fees and reduce their available funds.

The problem with privatization is not so much the benefit to Wall Street- because after all there will be low-cost providers available. It is that it makes your retirement safety net just as dependent on the stock market as the REST of the money you have in 401k, etc.
The big thing about SS- you can't lose it with poor investment decisions or bad luck with investment timing.
SS helps keep the streets clear of destitute old people.
I would love to opt out of the system and invest my money in the market on my own. I pay more for social Security than I do for Income tax now. I just don't see it as a sustainable system. You can look online and see that many others feel the same way.
I think cutting SS checks through means testing wouldn't be such a bad idea at all. Rich people don't need that piddling little amount.
Then Give my and my employer's all the money I gave it back, with interest.
