The song remains the same

I saw this story linked through Real Clear Politics and knew it would yet the latest rehash of the same tired "solutions" to fix Social Security.  Washington Monthly: "How Democrats Can Save Social Security—and Win Elections."

Spoiler alert: it was.  Here comes raising the income cap, once more with feeling is taxing financial transactions and capital gains, stop me if you've heard about means-testing again.  These remedies are at the heart of every single "fix" for Social Security and there's nothing new under the sun.

Social Security is supposed to be a universal system with benefits proportional to what people paid into the system.  The Left insists on turning it into a welfare program and will not offer any solutions that do not lead to that end.
