LOL -- A warning from Napolitano

Yes, but that doesn't mean Social Security is in some immediate and dire crisis.

You've just posted a shotgun of information about Social Security. Good

But the fact remains: Social Security is fine, doing nothing at all, until 2037. At that point, doing nothing, it would still be able to pay out 78%. All it needs is another little tweek, as it's had in the past.

Social Security has never missed an obligation - it's the most successful social program in the world, ever.

Social Security is NOT fine. You've just lulled yourself into some false sense of security that it is.

It's the first time in the history of SS that a COLA payment hasn't happened - two years in a row. Hear any warning bells?

How bad does it have to get before you'll realize the program is in trouble? How high a % in payroll deductions and how the amount of wages? And, how is the government going to repay all the money it "borrowed" from the fund? More taxes, more bailouts, etc. And, is there really any money in the "Suspense" fund - you know that account where all the SS payments supposedly go to for the pmts made using fictitious SS #'s?
