Gene, like you I've read info and commentary from both sides of the SS 
debate.  I just don't see how two and a half people wotking at McDonalds, 
Target, the local school, and even the doctors at your hospital, are going to 
be able to each pay enough to SS to make it continue.

  There will have to be another substantial tax.  That is not 'tweaking'.  
That is 'social engineering".  That is turning and insurance/retirement 
program which is what SS now is, into the countries largest 'welfare' 
program.  No 'tweking' can make a 'pyramid scheme' ultimately pay off for 
everone.  The math can never work......bobford
