And there is no major or immediate - or even intermediate - problem with Social Security meeting all it's obligations. This is all false alarm and nonsensical straw men.

Geehus - worry about something that matters, that is a real problem, like Medicaid or Medicare. Good lord.
medicare is a part of ss, it's part of the ss act that amended the social security program. 1965.
just reminding you of that, so that in future when i mention that ss needs help, it's the entire program, not just the retirement portion.
