I've read several different versions of what "means testing" is, but most of them basically said that someone who already has some type of "equivalent/replacment" retirement income from other sources, like a pension, could/would get a reduced SS benefit than someone without that resource...... despite the fact those individuals paid just as much into the system as someone without a pension if they had the same basic salary.

That's not going to sit real well with people at Boeing and other Govt jobs with Pers1 and Pers2 pensions figuring to be a piece of their retirement pie...."sorry Charlie, you have a pension so you get less SS benefit, rots of ruck...."
