Raymond, it is not propaganda. Think about it. If you have a savings account and you spend more than you contribute, then that savings account will eventually be depleted. Social security has a trust fund and both left and right leaning actuaries estimate that outflows will exceed inflows by 2018 and the fund will be depleted somewhere between 2042 and 2052. Read the Social Security Administrations own website. This is where I'm getting those figures.

Careful with with generalizations and absolutes. Here's a perspective for you.

mindmeld,

Re: So in every post I have been saying you can solve the problem in several ways: reduce benefits, raise taxes, run deficits, or privatize

Are you lying, or did you forget that what I was responding to was your incorrect statement that Social Security would be bankrupt in 2042?

Are you backing off from that false assertion now?
