The program is doomed by demographics.
Can't disagree, but WTF is wrong with all the FR morons claiming we're greedy because we're taking SS/Medicare?
It's not like we had a choice when working, nor have any choice now. It is what it is for us.
When GW Bush suggested privatizing SS back in 2001, the Dems went feckin' nuts.
And BTW - what do SS, Medicare, Medicaid and Øbamacare have in common? They're all DEMOCRAT programs doomed to fail, yet no one ever brings that up.

It is what it is for us.

It is for now. In the future the USGOV will 1) default, 2) inflate or 3) grow tax revenues or some combo. #3 is not looking good over the long run, even if we milk the rich that only works once. #2 means they will pay your $$ but you will have to lower your standard of living. #1 means cutting what we owe to China or cutting your benefits, probably both, as in everybody takes a haircut.
