The trustees said that to keep the Social Security trust funds solvent over the next 75 years, Congress could take a number of steps:

•increase the payroll tax rate from its current level of 12.4 percent to 15.01 percent;
•reduce benefits by 16.2 percent;
•find alternative sources of revenue;
•adopt some combination of these approaches.
Or: simply remove the cap. Or heck, just increase it to $250K Too simple, fair and easy?
