Means-Testing

The Means-Testing Mirage - NYTimes.com

I've always been for means testing for social security. Giving money to people who don't really need it adds to the image of bloated, ineffective, inefficient governemt but the argument that means testing makes social security look more like a welfare program therefore making it easier for politicians to convince some Americans to gut the program, is a good one.

So,.... I guess at this point I'm for keeping it a universal program and then just tax it back from those that don't really need it.

Hey,.. we're in this together. If you're an American we should make sure you have something in your old age.
