SS is fiscally sound for the next 30+ years. Compare that to American companies which are going bankrupt left and right, not in 32 years, but right now. If American business was a fiscally sound as SS, we wouldn't be having a problem. Talking about a theoretical shortfall in SS 30 years from now is nothing short of propaganda designed to undermine confidence in an extremely sound program. The Bush administration added the unfunded mandate over an infinite time frame number to the Trustee's report in an effort to further propagandize the issue and to argue for privatization. They failed. SS isn't going anywhere. And when it comes to the fiscal health of our government, it's by far the least of our problems. In fact SS is running a surplus while all other programs are running massive deficits. SD
