Sorry- but there is no arbitrary "about good amount" where the author or the government can decide what amount will cause people to move up here or stop working. This is not welfare, even if it acts like welfare at times. It is a wealth fund, and we deserve the old formula. If it grows enormous, good for us. If it shrinks (like it has before) due to low earning years, then that is life.  It is not meant to be a guaranteed income, it is a dividend.
