First of all, I think every American retiree who does not need SS income should not take it. Social Security should be a security net for the unfortunate or stupid.
Second, the govt should stop borrowing 40 cents on every dollar spent TODAY.
Third, lets get this idiot out of the white house.

The first will take the second a long way - particularly if you also require their children to help take care of them (if the kids have the means). The third one...we can only hope.
What's your criteria for "need"?
I’m all in favor of means testing for social security, that should have been that long ago. At some point people will need to accept that social security simply won’t be there anymore, the whole program needs an overhaul, I’m highly skeptical though because even among self-professed conservatives you have a lot of “I hate BIG government-—keep your hands off my social security and medicare sonny.”
Can’t have it both ways, can’t restore fiscal sanity would do necessary modifications to the two biggest outlays the federal government has.
PEople that have kids and are on Social Security and don’t really need it should pass it on to their kids directly offsetting their tax burden.
