For a self-described economic expert, you sure have some weak points.

First, Obama said no such thing. Next, SS can't possibly be "gone"
because you will always have people paying into the system. The only
thing that has a potential to be "gone" is the SS trust fund, which
was a bad idea given to us by Reagan in the first place. Even if the
SS trust fund is "gone", FICA will still cover at least 75% of SS
payouts, even if all the doom-and-gloom predictions about SS come
true decades from now.


Actually, SS was a bad idea given to us by FDR in the first place.
