>The answer should be straightforward. Just add up all of the benefit checks being sent out. But if you also want to add up the unfunded future liabilities of SS, you'll end up with a number that far exceeds the "$3 trillion" exaggerated figure for the Iraq war.

But there will also be taxes coming in to pay for much of SS. If we need to tax a bit more somehow to pay for any deficit (which isn't even totally clear), then we do that.

There were no special taxes to pay for Iraq.
