The SS benefits have _never_ been adequate for a substantial portion of the population. They need to be increased and the only way to do that is through paying pensions out of general funds and forgetting the nonsense about it being "insurance." One can hope, probably vainly, that the continuous attempts, thwarted so far, to destroy it will trigger a new mass movement in favor of what should have been instituted in the '30s, the original Townsend Plan.
