My MATH in the above statement says that Social Security only needs to be adjusted to keep outflows at or below the level of income.
NOW, you tell me what is wrong with that math?
The math tells us that the only way to make those adjustments is to make small changes in how it is paid out by 2000. Since that did not happen, and cannot happen, the only way to keep expenditures below the level of expected income is to make radical changes by last year. Once again, that is clearly impossible, so we have to do something drastic now. Once again, that is highly unlikely, which leaves us with the math telling us that the longer we put off the needed changes the more drastic those changes are going to have to be.
You even linked to the Trustee report that said exactly what I am explaining, yet you still insist that the math supports minor changes that can wait until 2033.
Social Security was within 1 year of insolvency in 1983 when it was reformed.
And don't lie about what the Trustee report says you dishonest twat.
The trustee report doesn't say that Social Security is in drastic need of reform?
