Ted, That would mean that defense is technically insolvent as well.

Exactly, but defense is only 1/6 of the federal budget. Social spending is more than half of expenditures.

Maybe we could take a portion of budget money intended for missiles, and invest it in the stock market.

Sure, why not? While we're at it, let's also divert some of the funds going toward armored Humvees, unmanned spy drones, and other technologies that save the lives of our soldiers? Fight a war on the cheap, like Clinton used to do.
