The again, maybe the poster has no idea what they are talking about.
But I don't think they should lower the amount. I think people should wait until their 68 to recieve it. That will mean another three years of work for many which will help the economy.

I've also suggested means tests which would exclude some rich people but, that shouldn't have as much negative effect as actually taking earnings from them. One takes away a reward for retiring and the other punishes them for earning money.
