>> The just-released report on the long-term outlook for Social Security’s finances contains surprisingly good news: instead of being exhausted by 2033, the Trust Fund will be empty sometime in 2034.



You realize the 5th Circuit totally upset this projection a couple days ago since you're not going to have an additional 4 million illegals in the country paying into the system but not taking out? Since Obama's bogus executive order was just tossed out on its ears?


The 2030, 2035 time frame isn't likely to change materially. Maybe it goes to 2040. Maybe it goes to 2025. It isn't going to just go away. The system is 9.2 Trillion in debt and even if you raised taxes enough to fix it it would leave you with NOTHING LEFT to deal with Medicare and Obamacare, the bigger problems.
