One cannot separate a savings that soon the vast majority of those under senior age Americans will save that over the years will 10x any future small rise, therefore making in time SS less needed anyhow, because everyone will save tens of thousands of dollars.
And everyones kids and grandkids will reap benefits unheard of fifty years ago.
And eventually there will be universal health care, and a paid forward method, which aside from health insurance, will save nationwide billions for the average person.
If one now has say $20,000 a year in medical bills, and it is reduced to zero, ontop of the lower health insurance, you do the math.
It's all coming.
And, btw, any mention of an increase also mentions seniors will be grandfathered in their old rates, so no senior is going to get less anyhow.
