I suggested this a few weeks ago, what about an elective extra Social Security tax that could double your benefits if you elected to have the extra cash taxed and it would build a cash balance like an IRA and if you die before 62 the money goes to your heirs or can be used to start taking supplemental income before reaching full retirement age. Also eligible participants would be excluded from the government mandated cuts coming.

Sounds like what Bush proposed (or close to it). A good idea, but doesn't solve the coming insolvency.
