It will be an interesting political discussion regarding the future of social security. In the end, it really comes back to the question of determining what social security is supposed to be: a retirement income program or a welfare program. It is also very interesting to see the constant complaints about heavy tax burdens while we continue to run large deficits (even excluding the Iraq and terror war costs) and continue to exempt more income from taxation (i.e., higher 401k and Roth IRA limits and lower tax rates) while at the same time expand social benefits (Medicare prescription drug coverage).
