Rejoinder:

To those who note that the current Social Security worker:retiree ratio is 3:1, and then argue that there will be a crisis when when it's 2:1, the proper response is:

Right now, with the 3:1 ratio, the program is running a substantial surplus. And it won't run a surplus when 2:1 ratio is in effect.
