"Hubby"--

There is no crisis, for the obvious reason that any shortfall can be easily addressed by the simple expedient of eliminating the salary cap on Social Security deductions.

Precisely why is this unacceptable to you?

Please don't give me the garbage of how rich people create all the jobs. You and I both know they hang on to the vast majority of what they make and/or indulge in conspicuous consumption. Ever been to an area full of "McMansions"?   I suspect they are all over the US.
