8. Every insurance plan in the known universe is adjusted
AT LEAST every 10 years (more likely EVERY year) to balance the premiums, the reserves and the benefits. Why should SS be any different?

When was the last time SS was tweaked? Maybe the FICA percent will need to be higher? Maybe the cap should be raised. If any of these steps were taken now, the RESERVE would grow, protecting the SS plan.
