I have no insight but it sounds like he means that the questions of eligibility, types of services etc can be limited to the revenue raised in the social security system. Ordinary people collectively get no more than what they put in. And in practice when there are deficits the scheme is attacked as too generous.

I recall vividly two things she told me about Rockefeller: he always referred to the people as "mice"; and in response to JFK's platform plank that called for the Medicare health initiative, Rockefeller supposedly said, "we won't fight it, but will make sure it comes under Social Security where we can control it." Does anyone have an insight as to what he meant?
