@sun I don't see the context, but SocSec will likely run out of funds relatively soon (by design; as population peaks and begins to decline there are fewer workers contributing; the fund's money has been spent as it came in).

That's another reason I advocate the government raising taxes and paying for almost everything up front. For one thing, this will generate discussion about where funds get spent and make congressionals more sensitive to people's concerns. For another, the younger people are, the more likely they will get screwed by run-away spending.
