46. So when $200,000 becomes worth $20,000, then when
should it kick in? I mean in 1960 $20,000 was considered upper strata income. Means testing is a way of taking away choices for people on fixed incomes. It doesn't address inflation or the fact that people pay into Social Security no matter how rich they are and therefore deserve the right to start getting their money back when the time comes.

How about means testing to collect life insurance?
