You scare a lot of people by saying it is not sustainable. You will go eventually bankrupt. The truth is, the program is popular. It is needed. I reiterate "The numbers just don't look sustainable as they are now " and I gave my list of likely solutions. It's not a scare tactic, it's reality. The truth is, the program is popular.. Yes, but a non sequitur. Many programs are popular but they need to be funded. It is most assuredly popular with retirees who vote in much higher numbers than young people who will be supporting it in the future so I am sure at some level it will continue.
