"SS will be bankrupt by 2042, because liabilities will exceed the market value of their assets."

Have you told Snow yet? he doesn't seem to be clear on that...

During his testimony, Snow was asked by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Tex.) how the administration could describe Social Security as headed for bankruptcy when many private companies have pension plans for which they cannot currently meet all their obligations.

Bush said in his State of the Union address last week that unless Congress acts now to restructure Social Security and create individual investment accounts for younger workers, the system will "be exhausted and bankrupt" by 2042.

Snow acknowledged that "there is a major difference between not being fully funded and being bankrupt."
