Two other solutions:
Print money to pay which may cause inflation

Sell assets to make payments.
Goverment land, oil/ mineral rights

Any solution that involves giving the gov more money will make that situation worse. It'll be used for "one time" situations which will become permanent.

What do Rome, the British Empire, and now the US have in common? Empires that are too costly to maintain and besides that create a flow of people from the conquered lands. Until and unless the US gets back to being a nation with well-defined borders and a stable, productive citizenry we can't be saved as a nation.

How about removing the cap. Why not pay SS on all income, not just the first 130K...or whatever it is.

Aside from postal roads, forts, etc. the govt owns NOTHING to sell. Now, if we were to close down the palaces of govt, since those unconstitutional agencies/dept. are shut-down\defunded....

Those land/oil/mineral/etc. rights belong to the State(s) where they reside.

Printing money is the definition of inflation.
