This seems buys into the view expressed by Gene several times that payments to SS "clients" would be the last thing to go, that the stock market would crash first and all economic activity would come to a halt first before there would be any curtailment of SS benefits.
SS recipients will still get the amount of money they've been promised, it
just won't buy hardly anything any more.
many hold to be a promise so sacred and absolute that the whole country would shut down before going back on it, suddenly becomes something explained away as a footnote.
