>I think people are going to get rid of Social Security at some point. The propaganda output of 1%'er think tanks has been consistently stating that it's an unaffordable luxury that will bankrupt the nation for 30 odd years. They have several ulterior motives for saying this. It's not just that they want to free up money for tax cuts -- stripping people of social security benefits also makes them more dependent upon employers, which employers really like. Wall Street would like to see that multi-trillion dollar pot of money privatized so that they can manage it and cream off fees. These groups are the ones pushing for social security "reform". They tried pretty hard under Bush (who was willing) and pretty hard under Obama (likewise). Still no dice though - too many votes to be lost still.
