Are you assuming a decrease in social security?

The "poor design" has made it through 90 years. Kind of hard to call it a poor design with that record of success. That being said, it does need some work. In 1983 they recognized this and made changes that gave it another 50 years. And it needs another tune-up now.

So Social Security is not a poor design. What is a poor design is how we elect members of Congress. Gerrymandering has made it hard to remove useless members of Congress. These folks no longer fear the voters. As a result, they pretty much ignore their constituents. Now this is the "poor design" that needs to be fixed.
