How would increasing the money that flows through a program rather than allowing for personal savings be "cutting out the middle man"?

I believe what Sen. TNF is saying is that if we want to raise benefits for people, we should use the programs we currently have rather than creating new ones. I thought you were opposed to unnecessary government bureaucracy? Or is this just a step towards privatization of Social Security?

I'm not sold on the idea of matching funds though.
