SS Trustees say
Economic growth of 1.8% means SS is good untill 2042
CBO says
Economic growth of 2.4% means SS is good untill 2052
I say
Economic growth of 3.0% means SS is good untill 2062
I say
Economic growth of 3.6% means SS is good untill 2072

The USA has averaged 3.5% growth for the last 100 years.

1. Wait a minute - they're using facts and historical averages to make their

projections. There's no room for these in bushland. It's all fear all the time in this brave new world.

2. Look at the graph--its amazing--out lays drop like a rock on bush's foot

When the BOomers die---thats me born in 1958---the last of the BOomers.

There will be no need to keep paying out---we will be dead-=--

SOOOOO the friggin out lays drop--while revenues dont drop.

Bush lies

Social security fries

4. DSid ya look at the graph? It shows just how much BS the Bushies are

Spinning--there is this HUGE drop off-- around 2050--

Outlays drop like a rock----this to me throws an arrow thru the heart of the Bush case for destructo--ing SS.
