- AnimalMuppet 8y agoLaws can be changed, though. But changing it would take an act of Congress. Congress currently can't legislate its way out of a paper bag, let alone a crisis. And passing legislation that reduces money going to people who have been promised it... that's going to take courage to take the hit from voters, and that has been conspicuously lacking in Congress for a while. On the other hand, bankrupting SS would be worse. That might concentrate minds.
