"They say [Democrats] the Social Security Trustees estimate the
system may go into the red in little more than a decade but won't go
broke until 2042, and even then, recipients would still get 73% of
their benefits." - CNN (Note: Link may change in online news sources. Article referenced was posted on January 4th, 2005).
It is interesting to note that Democrats and Republicans agree. The Social Security will go broke.
They just can't agree on whenether it should be fixed or not.
I was taught that when you know about a problem, you wither pay now and
fix it, or pay later to fix it. Usually, it costs a lot more to
fix, or fixing it was a lot more painful if you did it later. I
guess not everyone agrees with that concept: unfortunately.
