why do you think this? when is it going bankrupt?andyg666 wrote: i think the social security system is going bankrupt, and i don't think anything other than cutting the millitary budget by a couple hundred billion will fix it. not to mention fixing just about every other budget crisis we've got...
according to every single accounting of the system SS is totally fine until 2048. at that point it doesnt have the money to pay out at the rate promised, but it still has plenty of money.
if the bush tax cuts for incomes over $350,000 were rolled back the deficit expected in 2048 could be covered easily.
fixing social security is quite easy, and doesnt require much effort or time or even money!
