    Social Security being bankrupt by 2035 is a projection, & no more reliable than any other economic projection 16 years out. But the fundamental structural drivers of the projection are undeniable. The system as presently designed is unsustainable.

        There might be disagreement about 12 versus 16 versus 20 years but that's the nature of economic projections.

        No one over 60 cares about reforming social security to save it for all those who are paying for it. They just want to get theirs and after that they’ll be dead so why care

        No projections needed at this point. Social Security is already running significant drficits and forecasted to be almost $400 bn in the red in less than a decade. Regardless of precision, we will add ~ $3.5 tn of new public debt by the early 2030's. That's not up for debate.

        Conservatives are hysterical about what the deficit is projected to be in 2050 rather than the real worry: what the climate and the environment will be like in 2050.

        A national Value-Added Tax could be a viable, Revenue side solution to the impending entitlement crises.
