I guess I'll give you a chance to discuss this reasonably again -- because I remain curious about something that has been missing from your arguments.
You've never explained why the increases have to stop now, in particular, at its current level. Why not just cut it it half? Why not double it?
It seems bizarre to me to argue from principle, rather than facts, that we must freeze or shrink social security when our country has an increasing number of people in need.
Certainly we cannot keep increasing it forever. But why *now*, why the current level?
