<<"They" "want" to say? It was Greenspan who suggested cutting benefits, not Bush or anyone in the Administration. Greenspan was appointed to his post twice by the last Democrat president.>>

True, but the President had a SS Commission which reported in 2001 that SS would be in trouble in 2016 because that's when it will start to redeem the Treasury Bills it's been buying.

So the fix, i think, has been in for awhile.

Here's a link to a PBS story on the Commission's report:

Also, i think i misread your original post. On second read i agree with almost all of what you said and you do seem to have your facts in order.

Sorry about that.
