re: Sure SS is easy to fix, but any real fix is going to have to acknowledge that there is a huge unfunded amount looming out there. To pay for that unfunded balance, you have to come up with the money from somewhere. There is a "huge unfunded amount" throughout government. What's the cost of the military for the next 75 years... unless you think we are going to disband our military, then it's also "unfunded". With SS, raise the ceiling on FICA contributions to, say, $135K of wages. And split the cost of living adjustment to an average of wage and price inflation. Bingo, it's fixed. How are you (and Bush) going to fix it by adding $1Trillion to $2Trillion in NEW debt? Please explain. I hate people who pretend to be conservative. John
