Plunkey is .....wrong again! Anyone surprised?
Actually, receipts have always exceeded expenditures from 1982 to 2010. Here's a table showing that.
Social Security Trust Funds
In 2011, expenditures exceeded income for the first time since 1982. There are plenty of ideas of how to turn that around and keep SS sovent. Even if we do nothing, trust fund reserves are projected to last through 2033.
To make SS work, what we need is to fund it, and educate people about it, so they don't believe stupid lies like Punkey is throwing around all the time.
