If we can get Al Gore's "lockbox" social security really only needs some minor tinkering. Problem is the US gov't depends on SS taxes to pay off all the bloat they spend money on. If SS is going to continue to go into the general fund then we are going to have to jack up taxes somewhere AND slash spending EVERYWHERE.

All the hype about SS being in deep cheese was pure propaganda designed to make people WANT to trust Wall street instead of Uncle Sam.

Quite frankly Medicare and the Pension insurance program is what is in deep doodoo.
