168. When I took rhetoric in college one of the first things taught was that any sentence
beginning with "So" is a straw man. And yours certainly was. I never said anything about a "future without SS" . My only point was the OP believes there is no problem with SS because he/she believes growth rates will continue to be high. Our growth rates have been declining every decade since 1950. And they will continue to decline. The CBO says SS will run at a $45 billion dollar deficit this year for the first time ever. Either changes will be made to SS or some other way to finance it must be found.
