I like your audit suggestion. There is a lot of fraud going on in SS just like it is in Medicare.

more bullshit... pretty much every thing you post is pure crap

The problem is that SS takes in less cash than it pays out... So it is running deficits and the every year the deficits get larger

"...The truth is that, today, Social Security has a $2.7 trillion surplus and can pay out every benefit owed to every eligible American for the next 25 years.

"...Further, because it is funded by the payroll tax and not the US Treasury, Social Security has not contributed one nickel to our deficit...." - Sen. Bernie Sanders
