The good news is that Social Security and Medicare are not actually liabilities. Congress can refuse to make the payouts, or (more likely) modify them as Paul Ryan is proposing, and it will have no negative impact on the nation's credit. If anything, gradually reducing the payouts over time will improve our credit.
