>>It MUST happen, and it will.<<

i think TSHTF before it does, though. politicians are sociopaths that only consider their short term self interest.

they are good at manipulating voters to elect them and little else.

they will bury this nation before doing something like make their special interests mad. cutting the gravy train will make their special interests mad.

>>The only question is, how. Those people paid into the system their whole lives, with the promise of social services in retirement. Break that promise and you will have a lot of really ticked off citizens on your hands.<<

so they will print money instead. trillions. then the economy collapses.

>>Then again, being old sheeple, they will probably just complain about it.<<

there will be a LOT to complain about when the system collapses, not the least complaint of which is "how will i eat today?"
