That "overwhelm the system" thing is working out very well.

I just want back what I was forced to pay into it.

Crack down on the SSI abusers, many with multiple IDs and non-existent ailments, and SS’ll be a lot nearer to solvency.

Nancy Pelosi said that Social Security is stable until 2035, and after that can still pay out 75% of promised benefits. So Democrats see no problem ahead.

HAHA, I didn’t see him reference the Trust Fund, Dems say that makes it solvent for another 20 years.

Bottom line for the 80% of under 35er’s who voted for and defend Obama - they will have ZERO social security as recipients but will PAY through the nose until it collapses.

Add that to a 6 year Obama recession, no jobs, and for many the mandate to pay for healthcare and he is literally sucking that group dry - and they still don’t get it and support liberals. Maybe Hillary will save them :)

Talk about low information voters, this group is insanely stupid and uniformed.

Why is this guy fixated on Social Security? There is still, on paper a $4.6 trillion surplus in the SS trust fund. SS could be repaired over the years if Congress and the President would only do it. Shortfalls stay around $100 - $200 billin per year for another decade, small stuff in current federal budget terms. - SS could be fixed.

Maybe he should tell us how the future funding for Medicaid and food stamps looks. Lots of folks paying into specific funds to fund those? Poverty programs already cost $1 trillion plus annually and will only grow in the future with current programs and Obamacare deficits.

Instead of using scare tactics by looking 75 years into the future of SS, people need to be looking at next year and the next decade and start making changes in all unsustainable programs.

"How depressing is this chart? "

Only slightly! Particularly as the current final slide into abject tyranny continues unabated.

Within 5-to-10 years information like this will not be made available by the ruling masters. Replication of the 1930's Soviet Union with lots of current technology bells and whistles will mean no serf will even ask.

Discussions about Soc Sec, Medicare, or Medicaid are an exercise in futility. Just as they have always been, judging by the lack of any successful past attempts to remedy the problems.

I’ve finally succumbed to ObamaMalise: I’ll most likely be dead by the time the SHTF, so I really don’t give a damn anymore. Our country as we knew it when we were born is now on an unstoppable track for complete “Progressive” social fascism. And the sheeple? Well, they’re sheeple, and they’ll blissfully and ignorantly ride the fascist merry-go-round all fat dumb and happy until the unmitigated money manufacturing brings the ride to a screeching halt.
