>> Cause you know, we can always raise taxes in the future to meet that liability. Actually, I found out today we're not going to raise taxes to meet the liability. I am on notice from CJ that we're just going to print trillions of dollars. It was so simple all along.

"Social Security is fundamentally flawed" Because it's not. If you read anything about it's conception, you have to marvel at how the inventors took EVERYTHING into account, and anticipated ALL the objections that have been raised and problems that have arisen. It was designed to be a very flexible program able to deal with all possible demographic challenges. (R)'s have made opposing it a religion, but they haven't really won any converts. It's more popular than ever.

Very few liberals really want to admit that. I suspect they can't handle that Social Security is fundamentally flawed, especially those who are looking forward to their checks within the next decade. Relax, ten. Next year, Bush's tax cuts will expire......that will raise revenue. Later in the year, Iraq will be mostly over, reducing spending.....then the year after that, Afghanistan will be winding down....another reduction in spending. Hopefully, Obama will finish what HW Bush started.....reducing our military to a more reasonable level and that will reduce spending further.
