>The government will fund social security for as long as it exists in this current form, at 100% of expected pay out. You are entitled to this belief, but I'd be remiss to not remind you that the Social Security Administration itself explicitly disagrees with your hypothesis, here: "The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2033, unchanged from last year's report. At that time, the fund's reserves will become depleted and continuing program income will be sufficient to pay 79 percent of scheduled benefits."
