This could be fixed in a week if we wanted it fixed.
Point being: the idea that SS is some "Ponzi scheme" that must be terminated in order to save our economy is 100% b.s.

It's the simple truth.
We can land a rover on Mars but we can't refinance SS to make it solvent in 24 years?
Whether we WILL is a whole different argument.
But the whole idea of "We can't possibly fix it, so f*** it" is b.s.

You already spend a hell of a lot more money on Social security, than you do on Nasa.
Keeping several million old people at reasonable level of income is a huge undertaking.

Why not simply provide medical care to those who need it?
Why have all this arguing over who owes who what? It's much simpler to just understand that advanced medical care is available due to the productive capability of our society and to allow access for all.
