I don't think so. Even conservatives think they are entitled to SS.
The only thing that makes sense is cuts across the board, and proposing cutting everything makes everyone hate you.

Seeing I have been paying into it my entire working life I certainly think I am entitled to at least getting my damn money back.
Is that so unreasonable?

Not sure if serious....across the board cuts have always been stupid and will always be stupid....cut what needs cutting whether it's a 10% cut or 99% cut and there's plenty of shite that needs 99% cutting.

SS needs to be eliminated, but FDR knew what he was doing he he dangled this carrot.
ETA: However, how do you tell people who've been paying in to the system they're simply SOL?

Seeing as how it has taken from me for 40 years, and promised to be repaid with interest should I survive until age of XX, your damn right I expect to be 'entitled' to it. Now expect is the optimal word there, am I counting on it being there in 10-15 years....nope, actually counting on it being pissed away or otherwise confiscated for some stupid excuse or another.
