You have some numbers to back that up? you really do have to show numbers when making such a statement... and explain why it is unsustainable, and work your numbers to show how it might come out different.

LJ, the latter part is what matters most... take the numbers and see what you can do with them... if you really think we are going bankrupt (and since you post nothing to support that, I think you just 'think' it), the take the numbers and work on a solution. otherwise... it is a bs waste of time.

the sky is fallllllllllllllllllling.

if it is, you figure out what might protect us from a falling sky. if you prefer to live in the crused world, that is up to you... as for me, I am tired of people who prefer the end of the world because it suits their 'religious' ideas or because they are simply such naysayers they like 'the end'.

No; they aren't. That is a way in the future, esp SS.

Take off the cap on income so the folks making 1 bil pay more than the person making 100K; take every robot in manufacturing, multiply it times the number of workers it displaces, multiply by the 8% employer share of SS/MC, & send to DC, and all is good.
