[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 2392195, member: 6146"] Good post, Ted. And let's not forget: SS is still "chugging along" (like all government programs) not because it's solvent, but because the U.S. is borrowing the money to keep "chugging along" in all matters. Sooner or later, this scheme will run it's course, and then we're all fooked. Whether it's in my lifetime or my grandkid's lifetime remains to be seen, but it's not a "sky is falling" hypothetical. It's reality. Most (if not all) of our taxes go to pay interest on the national debt. And with fewer and fewer taxpayers, a larger and larger national debt, and less and less productivity from fleeing jobs, how long before the U.S.'s knees buckle from the load? [/QUOTE]
