Yeah, but who wants to live in that crowd?
I guess all solutions are painful.

Anyway, I think an important factor which should be kept in mind when
considering how to clean up this mess is that the people collecting
Social Security today were *forced* to pay into the system.
Therefore they, unlike welfare recipients, do have some amount of
"right" to get something back.  This makes Social Security somewhat
unique amoung goverment programs, and why I don't think it is
appropriate to reduce the cost-of-living adjustments.
