3. sorry

sorry hh, but there is no Santa Clause ( not even one wearing Ms. Claus' lingere )

there really is a problem with SS. not immediately, but in 2018. even aarp ( a very rosy analysis )says that in the future benefits will have to be reduced to about 75 to 80% of planned levels. worse, the rest of their analysis is technically right, but misses the big picture. basically, beginning in 2018 we have to start borrowing 3.5trillion dollars from somewhere to fund the system. that's kind'a a problem.
