I think it was Ben Wattenberg that made a couple of suggestions. And if Members want to bring that kind of suggestion to the floor. why it will be an interesting debate. He suggested that we change our tax and our spending laws to encourage Americans to have more babies or we open our borders and accept more people in the United States as immigrants. trying to increase the number of workers per retiree. Or one can walk to the floor if they choose to and propose a tax increase. Many people who have honestly evaluated this program have suggested that all we need to do is increase the payroll tax just a little bit and that will solve the problem.
