I don't know, it's a little superficial on the part of the Republican.
It's a bit of a reductio ad absurdum on both sides.
As for fixing social security, this is one of the few things for which I believe that there is a magic bullet. Adjust the salary cap for inflation, and the program's intake will be dramatically increased.
Of course that means raising the payroll tax on those making > 87,500 so it ain't gonna happen with THIS government.
