Plot II is the current assumption. Plot I has a lot of happier people in it.

I don't know that plot III = "Bushoilini Plantation Economics". Mainly because I haven't figured out the impact of his guest worker scheme. What scale? what affect on current illegal aliens? Would guests pay into SSA? Would they be exempt sub-minimum labor working at minimum minus (6.3 - 12.6%)?

Benefit rates are based on a broad-base measure of wage growth. Which might include a lot of exempt (>$90K) growth and overstate the growth among the <$90K SS Base. Hence the shift to price indexing rather than wage indexing?

But I'd like the sheeple to hear a good explanation of the differences between caseI and caseIII.

SSA will be broken because the 'cheap labor' people are driving down your quality of living and the increasing that of the higher class whose income is mostly SSA exempt.
