“Um ... no. SS does not become insolvent for years,”

SS is only as solvent as our Government. Yes there is a financial shell game that gives an appearance of solvency, but cut through the BS and you realize that SS is funded through present tax revenue - and borrowing. If one or both of those become unavailable or severely constrained (as is likely), SS is not solvent.

I agree with this. But, do you stand by your statement that Gov. Perry is lying?

Hey forgive and forget my post to you. It seems you are simply arguing the insolvency of SS. My mistake.

However if we have to borrow to keep up our end to seniors, I am fine with that however I am almost 40, I will gladly give up all I have paid to never have to pay again.

SS is only as solvent as our Government.

Name a government program or function about which that is not true?

Perhaps if we called Social Security “THE FIRST NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST” it could get a trillion dollar bailout from the Fed. and Congress.
