I don't think many people are keen on the idea of reducing SS payments... except of course, those that are paying for it.
I am convinced that some changes will be needed. I wouldn't worry about SS too much.
If SS payments changes, it will be done in a way to not dramatically affect those at the poverty level. Remember, There is now Medicare Part D. That caused many to get an unexpected boost back in 2006, by reducing out of pocket expenses. This meant a lot to those at the poverty level.
Medical costs... Including Medicare is likely to be a much larger issue.
