Sorry for Fox News, but it's the best source with this headline and it says it's bipartisan so we should probably be good.

As am I, particularly because inflation happens and these means checks are a long-term bombshell. If the means test isn't indexed to inflation then in 50 years you are looking at a limit that starts cutting support to people that need it.

Never means test, there's too few rich people "abusing" the system for any means test to meaningfully reduce social program budgets.
