If we are going to return Social Security (and Medicare) to solvency, we have to do one of the following:

(1) Some flavor of what Boehner is talking about.

(2) Raise taxes on employees and employers (what the Dems will do if in power).

(3) Find a magic unicorn that can fart precious metals into the lock box.

There is no other combination of expense cuts, no secret slush fund of "waste" that is big enough to offset the baked-in metastasizing growth of these two programs.

Funny how no one ever mentions economic policy that promotes maximum growth and full employment. It won’t fix the ponzi scheme, but it will make the solutions so much easier and less painful.
