Oh c'mon, we can live beyond our means forever. The old people can easily take us down. We don't need to worry about beyond 2018 right?

Of course not. Now is the time to take action to solve the SS problem. We have trillions of dollars of unfunded liabilities, which will destroy our economy, including a loss of jobs if we don't develop a permanent solution for the entitlement programs. More than 45 million Americans are now collecting SS checks (retirement, disabiltiy, and survivor benefits.)

Eventually, I hope we move to total privitization of SS. We also need to fix Medicare, which is even in worse shape by multiples of two to three times the problem that SS represents.

We could take the European 'solution'... Import tens of millions of aggresive young muslim men to work for us.. As long as they promise not to get rid of our entitlements.

The question for privitization is.. Can supporting old people be profitable? I doubt it.
