"All the feds have to do is raise pay roll taxes."

not a half-bad idea.....so long as you mean to tax the jobs that have been exported with a hefty import tax on services rendered overseas and imports of foreign merchamdise.

The problem is that the number of workers to support each SS retiree is declining. In 1950, there were 16 workers paying Social Security taxes for every retired person receiving benefits. Today there are 3.3. By 2030, there will be only 2.

48 million Americans receive Social Security benefits, including 33 million retirees, 7 million survivors, and 8 million disabled workers.

By 2030, there will be 70 million Americans of retirement age--twice as many as today.

Social Security faces an unfunded liability of more than $12.8 trillion.
