My god it such an impossible task to save social security the sky is falling. Just raise the income cap on the deduction and the problem goes away on seconds. How about auditing the DoD and immediately save 200 billion a year. Increase the corporate tax by 10% on company's that got the 40% cut in 2017 and have taxable income growth of less than 20% since then. The American people are nothing but gullible serfs to the GOP
