> So here we sit, decades later, waiting for a debt bomb to 'splode. Social Security has literally never missed a payment. It's arguably the most successful government program ever. The reality is that all you armchair "ahhh deficit!!1" people have no answers to anything. We don't want granny dying in the street. I don't want that, you don't want that. Okay, so we need some social... security. It's not rocket science. If you're not proposing real alternatives that actually at least have a chance of working, then you're just arguing in bad faith and nobody cares about you. And, to jump the gun here, no - private choice insurance IS NOT a replacement. That is explicitly not security and we run right back into "granny dying in street" problem.
