Only 2 percent of benefits are paid to people with more than $100,000 in other income, according to AARP. So means-testing would do little to reduce the gap between income and payout. It's a political ploy, obviously, to sooth the masses. Far more would be saved by the U.S. purchasing 20 fewer planes, at $35 million apiece, from Congress' most loyal campaign contributors. Think that $700 million savings will happen?
