The challenge facing SS-OASI is the same as it was in 1935 when it was enacted. The Greespan Commission Commission reviewed the problem and kicked the can down the road. Now 34 years later in 2017 another hearing is going to be held “Social Security’s Solvency Challenge: Status of the Social Security Trust Funds."

Social Security is broke now, it is not going broke. Its liabilities exceed all trust funds and tax revenue by trillions. If SS-OASI were to stop today, no more tax revenues, and paid only those who are now beneficiaries benefits, the trust fund would last three years. Clearly SS-OSAI is broke.

Who are we trying to save it for? My kids do not want it. Benefits cost more than they are worth today. It is the definition of a Ponzi scheme. Kick the goverment addiction. Just say no to Social Security.
