    Why is revenue never the solution? It’s always spending cuts.

      Yes. There is a cap on SS collection, and it’s ridiculously absurd. But the Bezos Post thinks that SS is “out of step with modern [1] times” because of how unnamed countries supposedly do means testing. Means testing just being an old favorite of the conservatives…

      [1] I’d love for the author to define “modern” here and how it has any bearing on things like this. Modern is just one of those purr-words that flies right under the radar when making bad faith arguments.
