U.S. Government Debt/Deficit: A Disaster in the Making? [View article]
When LBJ opened the Social Security trust to the general fund in the name of the "The Great Society." the jig was up for social security as a viable entity. Medicare/medicaid was never a viable entity. We need to create semi private accounts much like government sponsered 401K plans with a third party administrator to ensure that the government keeps it's hands off for taxpayers 45 years and younger. For those of us over age 45 I sure hope you have taken steps to assure you have some retirement income. Uncle sugar may not be there for you.
