9. They did not account for the demographic changes...

Obama knows this. The Social Security program knows this too. The country is getting older, people are living longer, and people are having less children. That changes the equation.

The concern is that ASSUMING the trust fund is available, the trust fund will be depleted between 2037 and 2041.
