The Social Security Trust Fund has approximately a $2.5 trillion surplus and is not a part of the budget so it should be off the table for the current fiscal cliff discussion. Even so, SS needs to be fixed for the long term. Here's one idea.
(1) Remove the cap so all earning are subject to the FICA tax.
(2) Lower the FICA rate which will help the working poor and middle class.
(3) Implement Al Gore's Lock Box to protect the fund.
