according to the cbo report i read yesterday, entitlements already take 60% of the federal budget... according to the one i linked to the other day from '09, in about 70 years, entitlements and interest payments will absorb 100% of the federal budget.
no money for interior, defense, energy, all that 'discretionary' spending.

ss might need a little tweak, the entire system needs a complete overhaul.
