    If the U.S. could afford to create Social Security during the Great Depression, we can afford to protect and expand it now. I celebrate Social Security today and every day by committing to work on legislation that will keep Social Security solvent into the next century. #SocSec84

        One way to do that might be to create equity for unmarried people, who make same contribs as married folks w/same earnings, but get fewer benes. Either increase their benes or decrease their contribs OR increase contribs of married people.

        All they have to do is raise the limit for social security tax.

        We will have to tax the Social Security benefits at a rate of 100% in order to fulfill the promises that Jan and others in government made to recipients. Where else can the money come from? Oh, I forgot. The government operates the printing presses so no need to worry.
