The Demographic Ponzi Scheme is coming undone.
In 1945, there were approximately 42 taxpayers per beneficiary.
Today we're around 3; and within a couple of decades, the ratio will drop to 2.
The only way to solve the problem is to move to a Chilean type of system of privatized accounts with the safety net for only the truly needy. Anyone who is not retired today, even older than 45, should not count on SS.
Social Security is currently solvent until about 2037 so it is bullshit to say that 45 year olds won't get SS.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh......they might (actually) do the required-research, after-which the screaming & crying would be (nearly) intolerable.
