I am still 10+ years away from collecting SS so a lot of this does not matter to me (yet). I don't even know if SS will be there when I retire. I will be really pissed if I paid 30+ years into SS and I get the middle finger.
It's just political gamesmanship. Grandma and Grandpa vote and tend to be reliable Republicans. Don't want them turning.
So throw them a few more dollars a month for groceries and prescriptions, so it doesn't look so awful that billionaires and huge corporations are getting big tax breaks they do not actually need.
Personally I'd rather pay taxes on my upcoming SSA than have neighbors going without food and healthcare.
