The math works out just fine. Those minding the store just have to balance revenue and expenditure over time. Just like we all do in our household and small business budgets. And there's plenty of time to take care of business if only the will is there to do it.

Privitization is nothing but diversion from the real issue of how to meet our obligations. The gov't has been taking all our money and it's soon going to be time to pay it back. It is my belief that privitization is being floated in an effort to kill the existing SS system entirely, which I personally regard as an act of theft against any citizen who's paid into it. It is also a convenient and thinly veiled giveaway to corporate financial interests and those currently heavily invested in the markets.

The math on the current system doesn't work. Frankly the idea of Social
Security was broken even before it was began. Taxation has no hope of
keeping it alive. Even if they only opened a small portion up to
privatization and even if you were so conservative that you only allowed
investment in bonds it would still be better than the current path we're on.
