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.
