First, you need a tax overhaul. Primarily on the corporate tax side. SS's problem is in part a funding problem and in part a problem of borrowing against it. If we didn't borrow against it in the past, it's solvency wouldn't be questioned as aggressively. If we funded it from a broader section of taxes, we'd also have less of a problem.
You could set up a UBI to address both problems.
Can you actually do a viable numbers crunch in our current situation? I doubt you can, because it's only going to get harder in the future. We're not talking anything too hard either. You can't balance the books in our favor for a UBI.
