Not only that but 2042 is TWO generations away. We have no idea what things will be like then. What I don't get is that if investment accounts were better than what is currently being done with the SS surplus why doesn't the trust fund invest in some things other than US debt? Geez what do we need about .75% greater annual return. Hire Bill gross and Peter lynch to manage the fund.. They should be able to do better than individual amateurs and have the efficiencies of scale to boot. Bus wants to end Social Security not save it.
