Plus, what you are pitching isn't even the plan. What we have here is a cut for everyone by further eroding the buying power of all recipients of the program with a promise to kick back to those at the very bottom of a huge shit pile should they live long enough (which statistically they are especially unlikely to do).
This is a scam to cut Social Security and devalue the program to those that depend on it. "The most at risk" are those at the bottom margin, not virtually everyone as you are trying to portray here to sell the scam.
Wait till they get a load of who is "wealthy" for the sake of this argument, most will never see their "protections" and you know it because the protections are not for them. The program will become more of a joke for all that depend on it with each passing year.
