For existing contributors? So you don't want any changes to take effect for at least another 40 years, by which point the social security trust fund will have been devoured by baby boomers?

It might require the state to contribute to balance the shortfall, or alternatively they could bring in the changes earlier, but that would depend whether the American public will accept what is technically a breach of promise. As it would only really effect higher earners, it could perhaps be politically palatable.
