Did you ask this when the Iraq war was declared?

Doesn't answer the question...
Here, try this:
¿Cómo seguro de enfermedad y los SS serán el entrar financiado el futuro?
well, its clear, the age needs to be raised, it was never actually meant to support everyoneDuh. Raise the retirement age to 102. Helloooo.
Amnesty.How will medicare and SS be funded going into the future?
Let's be real though.
Iraq has cost a trillion, and while I don't even remotely support the escapade, that piddly little amount of money is no match for the 80+ trillion in entitlement liabilities.
We could pull out of every country in the world and still risk going broke over the big 3 entitlements.
It's a nice idea in theory to keep everyone covered with those safety nets, but the reality is we'll never have enough money to pay for it all.
Does that concern you?
Increase payroll taxes:
The Social Security program will need additional funds in the future. For the time being, a part of the federal budget surplus can and should be earmarked for the trust fund and a tax increase can be delayed. But, ultimately, we will probably need to raise the tax rate.
Since two-thirds of the projected funding shortfall is due to people living longer, an appropriate way to raise the tax rate is to index it to longevity. For example, we could increase the tax rate by 0.02 percentage points each year, applied to both the employer and employee shares of the tax. After one year, the payroll tax would be 6.22%; after 10 years, it would have increased to 6.4%. It would take 50 years to rise a full percentage point to 7.2%. (While taxes were rising by 0.02 percentage points each year, the Trustees project real wages will grow 0.9% to 1.1% each year, about 50 times faster.) This small tax increase would eliminate about two-thirds of the funding shortfall over the next 75 years.

Duh. Raise the retirement age to 102. Helloooo.
also she ignores the drain on the system that amnesty could createI know it's early still, but with the exception of Ravi not a single liberal has come in with an idea.
But amnesty, Rav?
300 million people's combined net worth doesn't even come close to funding the liabilities. And that means every dollar we possess, not just merely tax revenues.
How in the world do you expect a couple ten more million people to somehow magically contribute enough?
We're talking about 80+ TRILLION in liabilities. Are there some trillionaires in the illegal immigrant pool that I'm not aware of?
How will medicare and SS be funded going into the future?
no, actually that was the democrat planHow will medicare and SS be funded going into the future?
The Republican plan of "let them die quickly on the streets" won't work.
Don't worry. Democrats will figure something out. They always do.
