Means testing for Social Security

Is receiving a payout from a government imposed "savings" plan "spending" by the government? That's how twisted the logic is with Congress.

Congress is under pressure to reduce the deficit but they don't want the spectre of "Tax increases" to tarnish there image so they must serve up spending cuts. Instead of reducing the size of government or cut back on passing new entitlements they come up with reducing your payout from a savings plan they forced you to pay into your ENTIRE working life.
