Response to Original message
1. A summary.
1. Social Security is not in "crisis", but needs adjustments
2. Best way to insure SS viability in the future is to raise the CAP of SS contributions from payroll taxes. This would have those with higher salaries paying more to the SS fund.
3. Solutions he strongly ruled out: Raising retirement age, reducing benefits, increasing GENERAL payroll taxes
