Social Security - I got an idea. Raise the amount of income that can be taxed on social security. BOOM funding issue gone. If not - totally eliminate it and see how people react. Either way I don't see an issue with social security. It's not part of discretionary spending, it has it's own account.

Not true really.

There is no social security account with money just sitting somewhere.

The government uses that money to spend on other things with the "promise" that it will pay you back.
