Ray, Those stating that Social Security is secure until 2041 (or longer), base their projections on CBO reports that expect Social Security will get real rate of return (on its U.S. Treasury Bonds) of 3% or greater. My argument was merely that this seems to be a rather optimistic assumption. re:"You've forgotten the real negative returns on U.S. Treasuries in the inflation of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Many, many "grandma Millies" took a huge bath on that episode."
