The consensus is that Social Security is fixable, mostly. You wouldn't need to pay too much more into it in some manner to make it sustainable. They may need to raise the age again, but since none of the hard decisions have to be made for 10-15 years down the line, no one is making them. Healthcare is one of the bigger problems. Maybe the ACA will "bend the curve" enough to make it more sustainable. If not, then more cost cuts or higher wage taxes are the future for that. At least the issue is looking better now than it was 5-10 years ago. None of these are as important as making sure we don't end up in some kind of $1-2Tn war or wreck the environment enough with global warming that we have major infrastructure and agriculture issues.
