Another Rockin' Digby On Social Security

Digby's always thinkin' about Social Security and shit, and she often writes eloquently about all of it.  Besides raising the caps, and increasing the benefit levels, we Americans should demand that all income be taxed for Social Security, especially interest and dividend income above a certain yearly level.  Those steps would go a long way, all the way, to making Social Security solvent for the next 20,000 years.  And if we instituted a legitimate, universal national health care program, most of our budget issues would evaporate quicker than the puddles on Satan's driveway.
