There are few larger Amens in this world. The pyramid scheme started flat busted and it has been ever since. If you imagine Socialist Security as an inverted pyramid then you can imagine that we will have bored a black hole, from which not even light can escape, clean through the planet by 2037.
China will meet us halfway as their "one child" population exponentially implodes with each female murdering generation.
The Gov’t owns millions of acres and other property, why is there is no suggestion of selling some of this to approved bidders to raise money at this time???
It is an inverted pyramid; I doubt any projections are taking into account how many fewer children Americans will be having as we “become Europe”. Latinos made up for part of the deficit, but without jobs and the reduced freebies there’s less incentive for them to come here (in fact they’ll have a better chance working for an American company in their own country).
