<<<The demographics of the US have gotten better for Social Security since the Greenspan commission of 1983, not worse (the US birthrate and immigration increased markedly afterwards..). >>> We now have nearly 10% unemployment. That means they are not working and not paying payroll taxes. Illegal immigrants pay into payroll taxes and do not collect anything. We now want to put them into jails. With recession and financial meltdown we have had the perfect storm. Yet the Social Secrity system only needs minor adjustments. We are not going to be in a permanent state of recession/depression. Demographics change.
