The SS thing completely evades me .. There is no money, 'None', in SS. 'None'.

There was also no money in the bailout coffers a couple months ago. Today, 700 billion and more to come.

I read that by 2016 there will obnly be 2.5 people working and paying into SS for every person drawing from SS. I just don't see how it is sustainable. If it is not sustaines; it won'y just be people now collecting, or people looking to collect soon, who will suffer.

Do some research. Very little tweaking is needed to keep SS solvent indefinitely.

SS going bust would cause a societal meltdown.

Yes. And that is why it is not going to happen.
