More fear mongering from Republicans who want Americans to lose their safety net. Thank God FDR knew what he was doing.

Just save your own money and you won't have to rely on others right?

I'm not sure if this was tongue in cheek, or if you didn't read the article. Either way, the title is misleading at best.

Yep it will never run out. At best it will only pay 70% of the promised benefits.

What a great program! :roll:

Ironic that this should be posted in the wake of the whole Joe Wilson thing.

A couple years ago, GWB went in front of a joint session fo Congress to say that SS was broken and needed to be fixed and he was booed loudly by several Democratic members of Congress.

Are you serious cman? Have you looked at how the ratio of workers to retirees is going to change over the next few decades?

We either need to start making more babies or train all of the illegal alien Mexicans to enter the skilled workforce or we (well some of the older folks here probably won't live to see the day) are in serious trouble down the road.

Well, if the SSA can somehow claim our bodies as collateral when we croak...and sell off the organs...then the title works...

Should that have said that Social Security will never run out OF people? Or? Should that have said that Social Security will never run out ON people? Either way I'll pass on the supposed benefit.
