If that's the worst case scenario, I still think we could make it work. Half a trillion dollars a year is a lot, but it's doable.

And, of course, the picture worsened from the year before (for whatever reason), and the Board of Trustees are people who have all "drank the Kool-Aid." Tommy Thompson's department is also the one that brought us the bogus drug plan estimates...

From the Cato Institute's site (where you sent me -- socialsecurity.org)

"'Saving' Social Security without individual accounts could require a 50% increase in Social Security taxes or a 27% cut in benefits."

How disingenous -- implies that individual accounts will cost less than other fixes, even after the President has admitted that's not the case.
