In answer to your question, means testing is right. If you do not need it, give it up!

We should be getting back even more than we do, but the gov borrows it instead of investing it to gain on it. If they would have invested my SS in just about anything, it would increased in value and I would be getting more back. If you don't believe that, then check out something as simple as the Federal Thrift Savings Plan. They won't because congress would lose all control of our money and that would not be good. They would not be able to use that money.
