I love this line: This deficit is expected to shrink substantially for 2011 and to return to small surpluses for years 2012-2014 due to the improving economy.
Rightttt! SS is now paying out more than it's taking in. The reason it will stay solvent until 2039 is the $2.5 trillion and the interest it earns in the imaginary lockbox. So we're counting the interest on money we spent and will need to borrow with interest. Yeah, no need to worry. :) On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 3:57 PM, Judah McAuley <ju...@wiredotter.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 12:47 PM, Jerry Barnes <critic...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> "You don't seem to understand the basic problem.
